Benetton to pay into Dhaka factory collapse fund
Fashion retailer Benetton says it will contribute to an international compensation fund for victims of a factory collapse that killed 1,138 people in Bangladesh.
The decision follows pressure from campaigners, who accused the company of dragging its heels over providing financial aid.
Benetton was one of several fashion brands linked to the Rana Plaza complex.
It has not said how much it will pay.
