Asif Ashraf, Managing Director of Urmi Group and Director of BGMEA, represented the Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) at the esteemed 13th World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference held in Abu Dhabi.
The conference theme was Delivering for People Through Trade, and Bangladesh’s dedication to using trade as a catalyst for growth and positive change was embodied by Asif Ashraf.
Prior to this, Urmi Group was recognised by the BGMEA for its exceptional contribution to the Muslin Project, a part of the Bangladesh Heritage Festival 2024.
With a breadth of professional expertise based on innovation and diversity, Asif Ashraf’s career has spanned three decades. His work has been based on his ability to analyse data, identify trends, and take apposite action.
One of the best examples of this was his early emphasis on sustainability, which led to Urmi being a leader in lean manufacturing and building a factory that earned a Platinum LEED certification.
