Abstract

The textile industry has become the backbone of the economy of the country, but recently it also has risks. Large businesses on the higher end of the value chain are increasingly placing pressure on small and medium enterprises to satisfy minimum environmental and social requirements with quantity, quality, and price- cost requirements. Environmental management is the management of the responsibility of an organisation for its environmental impacts. The proposed LEED GOLD sweater manufacturing company is a brand-new subsidiary of the Rashid Group. The aim of this study is to examine the current situation of sweater manufacturing company’s environmental management system and to find out the shortcomings of Environmental management system practices. In this analysis, two data collection strategies were adopted. One of them is field based study along with questioner survey and another one is collection assisted by official paper, literature review, etc. This study found that general environmental policies and approaches to management are strictly defined in this factory. The research demonstrates that strict monitoring and compliance of existing laws led the owners of the factory to prevent a poor system of environmental management. In addition to the problem of emissions, factory owners strictly comply with environmental laws and pollution regulations except for wastewater discharge management. Furthermore, the study results and recommendations will be of great benefit to the authority, including HR & Environmental Enforcement Management, EMS Management, which would show best practices and pathways for the industry to help achieve LEED GOLD certification in order to minimize its environmental impacts and improve its operating efficiency.
