Evaluation of environmental compliance and challenges on mitigation measures for EMS, Energy & GHG, Water & Wastewater, Air Emission, Waste & Chemical Management due to decreased profit margin

Abstract

Environmental standards are updating bit by bit, but the profit margin or price rate of product is not increasing correspondingly. In this connection ZDHC MRSL Version 1.1 update to MRSL Version 3.0 including new hazardous chemical group, brands asking for Oekotex 100, Oekotex SteP, GOTS, OCS, GRS, ISO 14001, SEDEX 4 pillar, ZDHC WWGL 2.1 wastewater & sludge test reports, ZDHC Level 3 conformant chemical input, No detection of ZDHC MRSL parameter in the outlet, HIGG INDEX, carbon reduction initiatives, SBTi, updated technologies etc. but regarding corresponding funding no one is giving more profit margin, or more price rate to upgrade the environmental compliance status or to implement the mitigation measures or abatement process So, the more the environmental requirements the more the RMG sector is being riskier to survive in market. Moreover, sometimes the facilities are bound to import raw materials from the nominated areas. Which finally & heavily impact on environmental compliance in the factory level. Therefore, in this study we are trying to disclose the environmental compliance status & challenges on mitigation measures.
