With the Sharmin Fashion Ltd. (unit-2) obtaining Platinum certificate and AKH Knitting and Dyeing Ltd. Gold certificate on 28 June, Bangladesh now has 163 US Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified green factories, the highest in the world.
It may be maintained here green industrialisation is one of BGMEA’s many initiatives to gain sustainability, which has recently underlined Bangladesh’s RMG sector has taken the lead in green manufacturing with 49 in the platinum category, 100 in gold, 10 in silver and another four LEED-certified factory buildings as of 28 June.
Industry insiders believe the move towards green buildings helped Bangladesh to regain its image, which took a massive hit after the infamous Rana Plaza tragedy.
