BGMEA participated in the multi-stakeholder dialogue on Renewable Energy & Decarbonisation on December 4, organised by ETI Bangladesh. The dialogue brought together industry associations, global brands, manufacturers, financial institutions, and renewable energy experts to discuss collaborative pathways for accelerating the sector’s transition toward cleaner energy.
Speaking at the session, BGMEA Vice President Vidiya Amrit Khan stressed that Bangladesh’s RMG sector requires a dedicated and sector-aligned policy framework to scale renewable energy adoption. She emphasised the need for stronger collaboration between manufacturers and global brands to unlock long-term investments, along with simplified and affordable financing mechanisms—particularly for SMEs who face significant barriers in adopting energy-efficient and renewable technologies.
She also emphasised on ongoing national discussions on the Merchant Power Purchase Policy 2025, highlighting that an effective policy framework will be essential for enabling long-term renewable energy uptake.
BGMEA Standing Committee Co-Chair on Decarbonisation Kamran Sadique also spoke at the event where he highlighted the importance of establishing a national data monitoring platform and a unified mechanism for tracking industrial emissions. He noted that such a platform would enhance transparency, and alignment with evolving global due-diligence requirements.
