US rapper and producer, Sean Combs, more commonly known as Puff Daddy
or P Diddy, is called upon by campaigners to take action today after his
ENYCE brand was linked a tragic fire which killed 120 Bangladeshi garment
workers on Saturday. Labels from his ENYCE brand were found in the
wreckage of the burnt out Tazreen Fashion garment factory by local activists.
“We are sure that Mr Combs will be as shocked as we are to find that his
company is implicated in such an horrific tragedy” said Liz Parker of the
Clean Clothes Campaign. “We urge him to use his influence to make sure
clothing factories are safe places for people to work”.
Other labels and documentation found in the factory relate to Walmart, C&A, Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Piazza Italia
, Kik, Teddy Smith, Ace, Dickies, Fashion Basics, Infinity Woman, Karl Rieker GMBH & Co., and True Desire
(Sears). To date only C&A and Li & Fung, a Hong Kong based sourcing agent, have confirmed they were buying
from the factory at the time of the fire.

About this site
The Clean Clothes Campaign and its partners is working to seek confirmation from each of these brands on the
sourcing relationship they have with Tazreen Fashion and is urging each company to publicly state their
involvement with Tazreen or their owners TUBA group.
The Clean Clothes Campaign is also calling on all buyers from Tazreen Fashions to immediately investigate the
full facts of the case and to ensure that adequate compensation is paid to the victims and their families. It is
particularly urgent to ensure those injured in the fire receive the immediate medical treatment they require.
To prevent further factory fires the Clean Clothes Campaign along with trade unions and labour rights
organisations in Bangladesh and around the world have developed a safety programme of independent and
transparent inspections, mandatory repairs of building deficiencies, a review of all existing laws and safety
regulations, a commitment to pay prices that can cover the costs involved and the direct involvement of trade
unions in worker training on health and safety. The Clean Clothes campaign is now renewing its demand for
brands to sign up to this programme immediately.
The fire in Tazreen Fashions brings the total of workers that have died in factory fires in Bangladesh since 2005 to
around 700. A second fire reported to have broken out in Dhaka today injuring workers demonstrates once again
the need for immediate sector wide measures to prevent future tragedies.
Widespread protests about the fire are spreading across Dhaka and internationally to demonstrate anger and
despair about the tragic loss of so many lives. Says CCCs Ineke Zeldenrust: “Brands, employers and authorities
all are to blame for this needless suffering. This has to end now - there can be no more excuses, and no more
delays or yet more workers will live in misery and die in pain to produce our clothes”.
