This study aims to impact the responsible management practices of factories in the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) sector in Bangladesh. Collaborative research with our main partner - the BGMEA University for Fashion and Technology (BUFT) - on responsible management has contributed to the embedding of ethical practices in the RMG sector. More specifically, in a first stage of this program, the collaborative knowledge development is ingrained in the degree and executive education programs of BUFT - impacting about a quarter of the professionals entering the RMG sector in Bangladesh - and has informed the practices and policies of professional bodies, such as BGMEA in Bangladesh, MODINT in the Netherlands and the International Apparel Federation (IAF). Furthermore, in a second stage of this program, research on sustainability hot spots in the RMG value chain has influenced decision-making of the European Committee in relation to their sustainability policies. It substantially advanced the understanding of how European non-development policies and regulations aimed at private and public market actors contribute to or undermine sustainable development policies. The project delivered practical tools and innovative regulatory reform proposals with substantial potential for greater policy-coherence for development, thereby contributing to an integral approach focusing on a shift towards responsibility. |
