The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturing and Export Association (BGMEA) expressed its support for Primark’s goal of changing the way clothing is manufactured, halving its related supply chain carbon emissions, and improving the lives of supply chain workers. . (Bangladesh is Primark’s second largest sourcing market.)
The country is also home to many of Primark’s strategic suppliers and factories. BGMEA stated at a media conference that as one of the largest garment trade associations in Bangladesh, BGMEA’s support can help member companies move towards Primark’s sustainable development goals.
At the recent meeting, BGMEA and Primark discussed in detail the new commitments committed to realizing Primark in the next ten years. Primark sets ambitious goals that extend to its use of recycled materials, its environmental footprint, and how it plays a leadership role in improving the lives and well-being of workers in its supply chain. This represents a number of new commitments that will focus on driving change across Primark’s wider supply chain, so it is important to gain support from external stakeholders such as the BGMEA.
