He told the company, which has been criticised for    exploitation in the developing world, that Bangladesh needed &#8220;social    businesses&#8221; which would create jobs in the country. The company has now agreed it will produce shoes in Bangladesh on a non-profit    basis, although a spokesman stressed the final price may be higher than the    \u00e2\u201a\u00ac1 (89p) target. The move marks a change of heart for the company, which has been associated    with big money sponsorship deals and luxury brand prices.
