Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Bangladesh, in partnership with Ethical Trade Norway (ETN) and the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is implementing a project titled “Decent work, gender equality and climate resilience – building a future for Bangladesh RMG workers”. This project is supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). One component of the project includes implementing a pilot initiative on ‘Green Social Dialogue’ in Bangladesh’s RMG sector. The pilot aims to mobilise workers, management, and worker representatives, to address climate risks through social dialogue mechanisms. The plan includes enhancing workers’ capacity to identify and prioritise climate change-related issues in their workplace and ensure workers voice. Under the pilot, Innovision Consulting Private Limited conducted a need assessment. This report assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices of workers in relation to climate change, waste management, water use and energy efficiency. It also explored integrating climate issues into workplace-based social dialogue.
