It is now 5 years since the Rana Plaza factory disaster when 1,138 factory workers died. In that time a movement has grown of millions of people who, inspired by this terrible tragedy, are demanding transparency and choice in the clothing industry. After all, given the choice wouldn't we all rather buy from people who care for their teams?
As Graham and I headed off from Stansted Airport for Copenhagen last week we really didn't know what to expect.
