ETI has partnered with 7 corporate members – Primark, New Look, M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Dimensions and Arco – to quickly and effectively address the risks related to a safe return to work in RMG factories following the closure in Spring 2020. The initiative started its activities at the end of August and will run until July 2021.
