Elite Garments Industries Limited, located in Bade Kalmeswar, Board Bazar, National University in Gazipur, recently achieved LEED Platinum. It scored 85 out of 110 in the LEED certification developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).

USGBC evaluates factors such as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and the use of sustainable materials.
As international buyers prioritize sustainability in sourcing products, Bangladesh's leadership in green apparel production is expected to further strengthen its position as a key player in the global apparel market.
