Gap's parent refused to sign the binding Bangladesh Accord after Rana Plaza, co-creating the weaker non-binding Alliance instead — a documented failure at the industry's most critical safety moment. The brand itself is mid-turnaround under a professional CEO, with the founding Fisher family holding an aggregate 38.51% of the stock but no operational role. Gap answers to public shareholders and a parent whose sourcing record lags its scale.
