Three more RMG factories in Bangladesh have got the recognition of ‘green factories.
These factories are - CA Knitwear Ltd and Silken Sewing Ltd in Gazipur and Sultana Sweaters Ltd in Mymensingh. All of these factories received platinum ratings.
With this fresh recognition, the number of green factories in the country now stood at 176.
Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association director Mohiuddin Rubel informed BSS today.
He said that the RMG manufacturers have long been doing whatever is necessary to create safe, environment-friendly and sustainable factories in the country.
‘For this, we’re getting recognition of green factories despite the economic recession. So, the confidence of international buyers towards Bangladesh has been growing,’ he added.
He opined that since the number of green factories has been increasing in Bangladesh, the branding of the local RMG industry has been further strengthened in the international arena.
Bangladesh is now a leading country in the world in having green factories.
Till date, some 57 RMG factories in Bangladesh received platinum ratings, some 105 factories received gold ratings and some 10 factories received silver ratings. Four factories received certificates but did not get any ratings.
