Volunteers of Clean Clothes Campaigns (CCC) in Spain, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and Austria recently organized candlelight vigils in front of C&A stores calling upon C&A and other buyers from the Tazreen Fashions factory in Bangladesh to ensure compensation to the victims, take credible steps to prevent future tragedies in the industry and support a full and transparent investigation into the fires. C&A and Li & Fung have confirmed that they were sourcing from Tazreen at the time of the fire that caused the death of at least 121 workers, and injured more than 50. Other companies that confirmed sourcing from Tazreen in the past year include Spanish companies Sfera and Hipercor (subsidiaries of El Corte Inglés) and the German discounter KIK.
