Bangladesh’s readymade garment (RMG) industry has been making strides in environmental sustainability with three more factories recently receiving the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).

The factories recognised for their green initiatives in apparel manufacturing were Energypac Fashions Extension Project in Gazipur Sadar and PN Composite Limited at Konabari in Gazipur, which received the platinum-rated certification, and Dhaka Garments and Washing Ltd at Dakshin Varnahati, Dhaka, which received the gold rated certification, according to local media reports.

Bangladesh is home to the top eight factories in the world and the top 53 factories out of the first 100 in the world. The country now has a total of 192 LEED certified factories, with 68 platinum-rated factories, as per the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).
