Bangladesh today boasts of 77 platinum-rated units, 116 gold-rated, and 10 silver-rated facilities, reflecting the country’s unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility.

Bangladesh thus solidified its position as the global leader in green garment infrastructure.

Faruque Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), hailed the transformation of Bangladesh’s readymade garment (RMG) industry, once under scanner for its workplace safety standards, into a beacon of sustainability.

He credited this evolution to the industry’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, emphasising the significance of achieving LEED certification even as he maintained obtaining such recognition entails substantial investment, vision, and dedication to safeguarding the planet and securing the well-being of the future generations.
