a model industry in the world in terms of environmental sustainability

The safety initiatives namely National Initiative supported by buyers-led private initiatives- Alliance and Accord – inspected all export-oriented garment factories in Bangladesh and identified safety hazards, which were fixed by the factories. The industry spent millions of dollars largely without any external support to carry out the remediation activities. Besides, inspection and remediation reports of all factories were made publicly accessible through websites, which made the process uniquely transparent and credible. To keep this momentum of workplace safety, the RMG Sustainability Council (RSC) has been formed to build local capacity as a national safety monitoring regime, involving an equal number of representatives from industry bodies, brands, and unions in its governance.
