Speaking about the Bangladesh RGM sector supply chain, speakers at a discussion at Stuttgart in Germany suggested that not only the policy, it is also required to improve the standards in the supply chain. They were speaking at the 11th German CSR Forum, the leading forum on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Germany, that ended at Stuttgart on Tuesday. The two-day forum, with the theme: “Without CSR no business success?” included two events – the “CSR and Human Resources Summit” and the “First Academic CSR Summit”. More than 800 participants from private sectors, government, and non-government organisations, universities participated at the forum. Speaking at the event, Daniel Seidl, Executive Director from the Bangladesh German Chamber of Commerce added: “The buyers need to source in an ethical way and pay reasonable prices, factory owners need to strengthen their middle management and think about compliance.” “CSR requires a responsible mind-set at all levels. Politicians have to give the framework and enforce law, HR and environment and finally customers in Germany need to be educated,” he added.
