The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) emphasised the need for US company VF Corporation to bolster its partnership with Bangladeshi suppliers, aiming to elevate their capabilities in crafting and producing sought-after apparel items.

BGMEA president Faruque Hassan conveyed this message during a meeting with Sean Cady, vice president for Global Sustainability, Responsibility, and Trade at VF Corporation, held at the BGMEA office in capital Dhaka recently.

Highlighting BGMEA’s Sustainability Strategic Vision 2030, Hassan delineated a roadmap for sustainable industry expansion, emphasising positive environmental and social impacts.

Moreover, he urged VF Corporation to expand its garment sourcing from Bangladesh, particularly focusing on high-value products.

In addition to sourcing, BGMEA proposed collaboration between VF Corporation and BGMEA University of Fashion and Technology. This collaboration aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of students in areas such as fashion design, product development, and related fields.

The meeting underscored BGMEA’s commitment to fostering sustainable growth within the garment industry while leveraging partnerships with global corporations like VF Corporation. By encouraging increased sourcing and collaborative educational initiatives, BGMEA seeks to advance Bangladesh’s position as a hub for high-quality apparel production.

This strategic approach aligns with BGMEA’s long-term vision for sustainable industry development, promoting economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.

Through proactive engagement with industry stakeholders, BGMEA strives to propel Bangladesh’s garment sector to greater heights, driving innovation and excellence in design and manufacturing.
