Corporate houses team up to form ‘Corporate Responsibility Network’
This forum is the first of its kind in Bangladesh, with an objective to promote Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR)
A group of leading companies have launched a platform named the “Corporate Responsibility Network (CRN)” to promote and ensure sustainable development in the country.
This forum is the first of its kind in Bangladesh, with an objective to promote Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) through knowledge-sharing and integration of initiatives by various companies, said a press release.
Former Bangladesh Bank Governor Atiur Rahman inaugurated the network recently, at a hotel in the capital.
Speaking at the event, Atiur said: “By any economic standard, Bangladesh has done fairly well in the last 10 years, and has now emerged as a role model to be followed by the world. These success stories are attributed not just to the government organizations, but corporate companies as well.”
Moderated by Country Director of Social Responsibility Asia (SR Asia) Bangladesh Sumaya Rashid, the event covered different sustainable CSR projects including Bonayan, Probaho, Odomyo, and Swapna, undertaken by different companies.
CRN President Riaz Uddin Al Mamun mentioned: “There are a significant number of companies in the country that are yet to come up with any CSR initiative. We are engaging with organizations for collaboration, and contributing in taking the country forward through sustainable CSR initiatives.”
Among others, representatives of the founder members of SR Asia, Epyllion Group, BAT Bangladesh, Nestlé Bangladesh, Olympic Industries Ltd, GSK, and Marico Bangladesh were also present at the event.
