An appeals court is weighing whether the firm’s code of corporate social responsibility means it has a duty of care to suppliers’ workers who were victims of the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster. Loblaw says there is no precedent for such a suit.

In a packed commercial district outside Dhaka, Bangladesh, there’s a large, rectangular plot of land overgrown with bushes and weeds amid several tall but decrepit industrial buildings — an eerie reminder of a structure that’s no longer there.

On a visit two years ago, when the plot was just a muddy pond, fish were swimming amid floating scraps of clothing, some with brand labels still attached. Joel Rochon, a Toronto lawyer, spotted some in a familiar orange: “Joe Fresh.”

Rana Plaza, a nine-storey clothing factory and commercial building, collapsed into that space on April 24, 2013. The death toll reached 1,130, alongside 2,500 injured, in one of history’s deadliest industrial disasters.

A day earlier, cracks had appeared in the structure. Despite warnings from local authorities to keep the building empty, an investigation into the collapse revealed garment workers were ordered to come to work that morning to finish an order of 24,000 pairs of Joe Fresh jeans.

The workers were employees of New Wave, the Rana Plaza-based factory from which Loblaw — owner of the Joe Fresh brand and one of Canada’s largest retailers — contracted manufacturing services. The majority of these employees were young women.
