Ethical scores in Bangladesh on a rise

According to the recent the 2018 Q2 Barometer report by Asia Inspection (AI), ethical scores in Bangladesh rose by an average of 15 per cent during the past 12 months. The results reflect the continuous pressure faced by the Bangladesh-based textile and apparel manufacturers to improve their ethical performance. However, in spite of the increase in ethical scores, as indicated by the AI data, factories in Bangladesh are still plagued by health and safety issues, which were ranked the most pressing concern of Q1 2018, taking over working hours and wage compliance.

The scores for Chinese manufacturers showed little change with average scores flat at 7.7 out of 10. By contrast, there was a market improvement in the scores of South and Southeast Asia, with Cambodia continuing to outpace its economic forecast for the second year running, and inspection demand rising 22.4 per cent YoY in Q1 2018. Pakistan also maintains momentum gained during last year, with inspection volumes expanding 10.3 per cent YoY in Q1 2018.
