The South-Asia Enterprise Development Facility (SEDF) along with Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and Bangladesh Export Oriented Garments Washing Industries Owners Association (BEOGWIOA) launched the project. The inaugural session of the survey was held at Interstoff Apparels Limited in Gazipur.
SEDF is assisting the associations to conduct environmental assessments on up to 250 member factories with washing, dying and finishing facilities, and create an interactive database of the environmental compliance standards.
They are also training compliance officers of the RMG units to carry out environmental assessments, so that the associations can monitor the situation on a regular basis.
Under the project, a study is underway to identify best Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP), and the assessment process is expected to be completed by July 2011.
Shafiul Islam Mohiuddin, acting president of BGMEA, was the chief guest of the programme. He said the collaboration with SEDF is assisting us to promote environment compliance standards in the local industry to ensure long-term sustainability.
