First, is any of this even ethical? Second, how is Shein retailing clothing so cheaply?
Over the past two or three years, we have seen a huge backlash against sustainability marketing in the West.
What is more important: being a successful, financially viable business, or being a sustainable business?
How many times have we heard that customers will pay extra for more sustainable—recycled, in this case—products?
Bangladesh has emerged as a significant player in the global garment industry, securing its position as the second-largest garment exporter worldwide. The country’s remarkable journey from economic struggles to becoming a key player in the textile and apparel sector is a testament to its resilience and adaptability.
And while cost reduction is essential, it should not come at the expense of product quality.
Fashion and textile supply chains stand to benefit greatly from the rise of the responsible investor.
Advocacy efforts in Bangladesh have been part of the national dialogue centring wages for several decades.
My biggest worry in this situation is for our RMG workers, who are among the most vulnerable parts in the global fashion supply chain.
Global energy challenges are continuing to impact Bangladesh's garment industry.
By limiting ourselves to these two markets, we are missing out on a whole world of opportunities.
Climate change is a problem which was (largely) made in the West, but we are feeling its impacts in countries like ours more than ever.
In recent months, the Bangladeshi taka has plummeted to new depths against the US dollar amid a worsening foreign exchange reserve crisis.
Recessions don’t happen overnight, and people don’t stop spending from one day to the next.
As the global economy is threatened by recession, RMG makers will have to come up with strategies to deal.
In recent months, global energy prices have soared, and ready-made garment (RMG) makers in Bangladesh have been feeling its impacts these past few weeks.
It seems that just as we recover from one crisis – the global pandemic – another one begins.
RMG makers in Bangladesh have a compelling story to tell. And there is no better time to start doing it than now.
