Recently the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) aiming to bring sustainable development in the garment manufacturing industry in Bangladesh. Through this MoU, GIZ will implement a joint project by both the Governments of Bangladesh and Germany to help the Bangladeshi garment industry to enhance their environment-friendly capacity.
Under the initiative, a total of 16 Bangladeshi garment firms would be given support on environment issues like energy conservation, improving chemical management, and implementation and operation of effluent treatment plant. “The implementation of the MoU would bring a change in long-term environmental issues,” said Riaz Bin Mahmud, BGMEA Vice-President (Finance). Working on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, GIZ Bangladesh is currently focusing on three priority areas in Bangladesh – energy-efficiency and renewable energy; rule of law/justice; and adaptation to climate change in urban areas.
