Bangladesh has become known for its green-certified garment factories. Certification rewards buildings that use less water and energy, manage waste well and provide a healthy workplace.
Where to focus
- Water: efficient fixtures, water recycling, rainwater harvesting and a well-run ETP
- Energy: efficient lighting, motors and blowers, plus renewable energy
- Materials and waste: recycled materials, segregation and recycling
- Indoor environment: daylight, ventilation and air quality
- Site: drainage, green space and reduced heat islands
Existing factories can improve too
Certification is not only for new buildings. Existing factories can audit their performance, upgrade systems and document the improvements.
Data is everything
Certification depends on evidence: metered water and energy use, waste records and test reports. Installing meters early makes the process much easier.
The business case
Lower utility bills, a better working environment and a stronger position with international buyers all follow from the investment.
We help factories assess their water, energy and waste performance and prepare the environmental systems and documents that support certification.
