Dhaka, July 3 (TIWN) The Walt Disney Company has decided to reinstate its production of branded merchandise in Bangladesh after more than eight years of pulling out of factories in the country, said apparel industry leaders. Welcoming the decision, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) hoped to attract orders of more than $500 million in future.
It had announced that the company would consider permitting production in Bangladesh in future, if factories agree to partner with the Better Work programme, Faruque Hassan, BGMEA president, told on Friday. The RMG team warmly welcomed the timely move by Walt Disney in recognition of the all-out progress and transformation in the industry, particularly in areas of workplace safety, social standards, and environmental sustainability.
