1.1 Company Background

The garments industry has played an important role in Bangladesh’s economy for long time. Once
upon a time Jute, tea was the main export items but now export of textile and garments is the main
source of foreign exchange earnings. In the financial year 2016-2017 the RMG industry generated
US$28.14 billion, which was 80.7% of the total export earnings in exports and 12.36% of the GDP;
the industry was also taking on green manufacturing practices. Bangladesh is the
world's second-largest apparel exporter of western brands behind China for both Woven and Knit
Products. About 55% of the export contracts of western brands are with European buyers and about
38% percent with American buyers. Remaining 7% are exported to China, Japan, Korea and other
countries worldwide. Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Turkey, Chile, Mexico, Australia,
Japan and South Korea — are 11 non-traditional markets for Bangladeshi apparel products and
each of them has the potential to be a major export destination in near future. Alim Knit (BD) Ltd.
& Mondol Knit Tex Ltd. Is a 100% export oriented readymade Knit garments factory. It is located
at Nayapara, Kashimpur, Gazipur. It falls under RED category according to ECR 1997 because of
its dyeing process. The overall production capacity is 300 tonnes fabric per month and 22,00,000
(2.2 million) pieces per month. The factory produces high prominent products for some prominent
brands. It is well recognized fact that each development activity has an impact on the natural
molding of the environment. As development activities are the prime importance for the economic
growth and fulfillment of basic needs of the society, the environmental aspects of development
activities must be taken to account and due attention must be paid to protect the environment.
Garment sector of Bangladesh is booming a giant sector and it is increasing day by day with higher
percentages. Now a day garments made in Bangladesh has a good market value. Bangladesh is
passing transition period to transform into an industrialized country. The government fully
