Bangladesh’s RMG sector safest, most transparent in the world

BGMEA President Faruque Hassan said Bangladesh has emerged as the safest and most transparent country in the readymade garments sector in the world. "This achievement came as a result of the firm determination, efforts and investment of entrepreneurs along with the support of stakeholders," Faruque said in a press release on Saturday.

He made the statement when a delegation of the Electronic Safety & Security Association of Bangladesh (ESSAB) led by its President Zahir Uddin Babar paid a courtesy visit to BGMEA President Faruque Hassan at his office in Gulshan on Thursday. During the meeting, they had discussions on the current situation and different issues of the RMG industry, especially its unprecedented efforts and achievements in workplace safety over the past few years. Faruque also expressed hope that ESSAB would continue to play its role in cooperating with BGMEA in workplace safety. BGMEA Vice President ShahidullahAzim was also present at the meeting.
