On 24 April 2013, 

the eight-storey Rana Plaza commercial building collapsed outside Dhaka that

housed one of the factories where Benetton makes its clothing. [42] At least 1,130 people died.
[43]
 Benetton first denied reports linking production of their clothing at the factory, but clothes and
documents linked to Benetton were discovered at the disaster site. [44][45][46] Of the 29 brands
identified as having sourced products from the Rana Plaza factories, only nine attended meetings
held in November 2013 to agree a proposal on compensation to the victims. Several companies
refused to sign including Walmart, Carrefour, Bonmarché, Mango, Auchan and Kik. The
agreement was signed by Primark, Loblaw, Bonmarche and El Corte Ingles. [47] A year after the
collapse, Benetton faced international protests after failing to pay any compensation to the Rana
Plaza Donors Trust Fund.[48][49] Protests included shutting down Benetton's flagship Oxford Street
store in London.[50]
In April 2015, Benetton Group announced that it has doubled compensation for Rana Plaza
victims recommended by independent assessors (PWC AND WRAP) and applied the principles
of the Accord on Fire and Building Safety to global suppliers. Benetton's engagement for
Bangladesh is available on their website.[51]
