Introduction Child labor, gender disparity, low wages, and hazardous working conditions are just some of the human rights issues that plague Bangladesh’s textile industry. Being the world’s number two garment exporter presents considerable challenges for the business regarding adopting sustainable measures shown in Figure 1 (Habib et al., 2022; Stanwick and Stanwick, 2015).
