BGMEA publishes its first Sustainability Report

The Bangladesh Garments Manufacturer and Exporter Association (BGMEA) is proud to publish the second edition of its Sustainability Report from an association level. It is an attempt to assess its performance in the changing business landscape of the new normal. 

BGMEA took the initiative to report its sustainability performances through the lens of the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) sustainability reporting framework. Globally, this reporting structure is validated and acclaimed by all the stakeholders and adopted by major businesses.

In the global business landscape, sustainability and business are strongly intertwined. The ready-made garments (RMG) industry of Bangladesh has faced numerous challenges since its inception. And every time, we transformed and upgraded our industry to make it more resilient. Besides workplace safety, our RMG industry of Bangladesh has been proactively contributing to sustainability. Many of our members already have sustainability reporting practices. Therefore, sharing a collaborative story on sustainability should help us author the narrative of the industry’s stride and accomplishment, which will, hopefully, break the usual perception of the stakeholders and society at large.

The impact of our RMG industry is not just confined just stitching garments but it extends to a socio-economic strata. The RMG industry of Bangladesh, with regard to sustainability, is committed to maintain a strong foothold in line with the global apparel brands.
