Abstract:
Over the last years, Ready Made Garments (RMG) sector experienced impressive growth rates
and specifically woven and knitwear products are in high demand by the USA and European
markets. Adherence with national and international compliance standards has become
increasingly important to ensure customer requirements as well as to maintain the sectors
competitiveness, but in many cases factory stuff still lacks adequate skills and knowledge to
ensure that required compliance standards are reached. This thesis addresses the need to increase
the knowledge level of factory practitioners and other interested parties on major social and
environmental issues in order to contribute to the sectors competitiveness and to play major role
for job, income generation and national economy.
By doing this thesis we get to know about different social standards and the importance of the
implementation their rules and regulations to make a factory complaint. The factories should
follow and maintain the rules of WRAP, BSCI, OEKO-TEX etc. These rules are for worker
safety. Workers are the important part of this sector. So their safety is very important issue.
To become a complaint factory Graphics and Alema Textile Ltd. are maintaining the rules and
regulations of the standards such as BSCI, WRAP, OEKO-TEX etc. They are giving the
facilities to their worker by following the rules. They implement the rules such as no child labor,
no forced labor , no discrimination in appointment of employee, wages as paid as per law, anti
