Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) president Faruque Hassan recently requested Switzerland to consider a ten-year extension of the Everything But Arms (EBA) scheme under its generalised system of preferences (GSP) programme for Bangladesh's smoother transition. Hasan met Swiss ambassador to Bangladesh Nathalie Chuard and discussed trade issues.
The discussions covered issues related to the readymade garment (RMG) industry in the country and its progress in the areas of social and environmental sustainability.
BGMEA sought the embassy’s support regarding the need for unified code of conduct for social audits and collaboration to promote the untold stories of the RMG industry’s transformation, according to a BGMEA press release.
The ambassador expressed her satisfaction about the progress of the industry in the area of sustainable manufacturing and reportedly assured support from her government.
