Transitioning Bangladesh’s RMG sector toward greener energy requires actionable, factory-specific data. To address this, BIGD and BGMEA hosted the “Factory-Level Energy Report Sharing Sessions” in Dhaka, supported by the Embassy of Denmark in Bangladesh.
The workshop opened with remarks from Ali Asraf Khan (Sustainability and Value Chain Advisor, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark), Sheikh Shuchita Jahan Sneha (Coordinator, Responsible Business Hub, BGMEA), and Tahmid Bin Mahmud (Senior Research Associate, BIGD). Syed Matiul Ahsan (Programme Adviser, Embassy of Denmark) was also in attendance.
Afterwards, nine BIGD Research Officers conducted 40-minute, one-on-one consultations with ~30 factory representatives. These customized sessions equipped factory leaders with specific energy consumption profiles, sector benchmarks, and recommendations for renewable energy adoption to drive sustainable policies into real-world practice.
