Environmentally friendly growth
The growth of Bangladesh’s economy is mainly driven by the textile industry, which employs around 4 million people. To compete successfully, firms must control their costs – while meeting ever stricter requirements for working conditions and environmentally friendly practices defined by international buyers.
