- Description
The responsibilities of the private sector on environmental and social issues occurring from the production of goods are occurring through two main strategies ?greening the supply production? or switching to a ?product-based green supply". This strategies are being implemented till some extent in the garment industry of Bangladesh, where sustainability concerns are extremely pressing. The understanding of sustainability and of supply management strategies are theoretically clear but have been insufficiently analysed in a comprehensive approach to understand the challenges that comprise. This study analyses the two aforementioned strategies occurring as a consequence of reactive and proactive changes. The methods used to collect data were semi-expert interviews; literature review, observations and revision of secondary documents. The data was triangulated and analyzed in its content. The results showed complex challenges that are boosted by the business as usual approach and the national conditions.
