DHAKA: Kmart and Target owner Wesfarmers has dropped some of its suppliers in Bangladesh following the garment factory fire in that country in April, says director Diane Smith-Gander.

"They`ve made some decisions not to continue to source in particular markets where they couldn`t be comfortable the building codes were going to be safe," Ms Smith-Gander said in an interview with The Australian, ahead of a keynote address to the Governance Institute in Perth on December 3.
