About This Portal
A joint initiative by BGMEA and BIGD to make ESG performance data transparent and actionable for Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector.
Mission
The BGMEA–BIGD ESG Dashboard Portal provides a transparent, evidence-based view of environmental, social, and governance performance across Bangladesh's RMG sector.
By aggregating survey data from ~160 factories and presenting it through standardized ESG metrics, the portal enables factories, buyers, and policymakers to benchmark performance, identify gaps, and track progress toward sustainability goals.

Privacy & Anonymization
All public data is anonymized. Factory names, contact information, and precise GPS coordinates are never displayed in public views.
Factories are identified by anonymized codes (e.g.
FAC-042).
Individual factory profiles are only visible when a factory has opted in to public
disclosure.
Benchmarking statistics require a minimum peer group of 10 factories to prevent re-identification through inference.
