Dhaka — In a strategic move to promote sustainability, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has introduced new incentives encouraging ready-made garment (RMG) factories to adopt rooftop solar power systems.
The initiative aims to help manufacturers reduce their carbon footprint while cutting energy costs, particularly at a time when power supply fluctuations continue to challenge industrial operations. By shifting toward renewable energy, factories can ensure more stable and cost-efficient production.
Industry insiders say the adoption of rooftop solar solutions will not only enhance operational resilience but also improve compliance with global environmental standards—an increasingly critical factor for international buyers sourcing from Bangladesh.
The move aligns with the broader push to position Bangladesh’s garment sector as a sustainable manufacturing hub. With global brands placing greater emphasis on green supply chains, the transition to renewable energy is expected to strengthen the country’s competitiveness in key export markets.
BGMEA leaders believe that wider adoption of solar energy will support long-term industry growth while reinforcing Bangladesh’s commitment to environmentally responsible production.
