DHAKA - Brands, manufacturers and garment workers still face significant barriers to achieving greater transparency in the Bangladesh apparel industry, according to a new study.
Entitled 'Transparency Assessment: Examining the transparency journey for the Bangladesh apparel sector', it was commissioned by the Laudes Foundation as part of its work to find solutions to deeply rooted issues in the industry.
The report found that 87 per cent of surveyed Bangladeshi garment manufacturers said they would be willing to publicly disclose labour issues, working conditions and safety-related compliance information.
