“This edition of Bangladesh Denim Expo addresses the new opportunities for successful and sustainable business. In a world that now demands that industry leaders go Beyond Business,” Bangladesh Denim Expo Founder Mostafiz Uddin said.
“The pandemic has forced suppliers to double-down on sustainability issues. That is what global consumers are demanding in the post-pandemic world, and this message is being passed down supply chains through fashion brands and retailers” Mostafiz added.
“Our show is acting as a lightning rod on these issues, bringing together all the denim stakeholders from across the world under the roof of the Expo”, he also said.
