SAC backs Bangladesh Sustainable Apparel Forum
31/01/2023
The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) has announced it is partnering once again with the Bangladesh Apparel Exchange (BAE) for the fourth edition of the organisation’s Sustainable Apparel Forum. The US-based non-profit dedicated to promoting better practices in the apparel industry was a strategic partner for the BAE’s second edition forum in 2019.
The next Sustainable Apparel Forum is scheduled to take place on March 15 & 16, at the Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden in Dhaka. Five key topics have been chosen: the circular economy, climate impact & action, renewable energy & green funding, skill development and green job prospects & challenges.
Representing the SAC at the event will be SAC board director Vidhura Rapanawe, head of membership & stakeholder engagement Andrew Martin, and Joyce Tsoi, who leads the collective action programmes, along with other team members. The SAC will participate in a panel talk on decarbonisation and will be organising workshops for manufacturers.
Founder and CEO of Bangladesh Apparel Exchange, Mostafiz Uddin commented: “The Bangladesh Apparel Exchange believes that sustainability, technology and innovation are key to the progress of the Bangladesh apparel industry and, by working together with SAC, we aim to enable Bangladesh to progress as a responsible sourcing destination on the global map.”
