| dc.description.abstract | This case study explores the implementation of Green Supply Chain Management
(GSCM) practices in the Ready-Made Garments (RMG) sector of Bangladesh, with
a specific focus on R.K. Group Industries Ltd. As environmental sustainability
becomes an increasing global concern, RMG manufacturers in Bangladesh are under
pressure from international buyers and regulatory bodies to adopt eco-friendly and
socially responsible practices across their supply chains. R.K. Group Industries Ltd.,
a mid-to-large scale garments manufacturer, has taken several initiatives to integrate
green practices within its supply chain, particularly in green manufacturing, waste
management, and environmental compliance. The company has installed energy-
efficient machinery, established Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs), and earned
certifications such as ISO 14001 and OEKO-TEX, indicating its commitment to
environmental sustainability.
However, the adoption of GSCM across all supply chain stages—especially in green
procurement, logistics, and employee engagement—remains limited. The study
reveals that most sustainability initiatives are driven by buyer requirements rather
than internal strategic planning. Additionally, financial constraints, low awareness
among workers, and insufficient government support hinder full-scale
implementation of GSCM. | en_US |
