| dc.description.abstract | Envoy Textiles Limited (ETL) is one of Bangladesh's rising green textile factories and was the
world's first LEED Platinum textile denim manufacturer in 2016. In 2021, ETL exported
45,509,446 tonnes of yarn, fabric, and dyed yarn, which is 25% higher than in 2018. ETL took
several initiatives for environmental sustainability, natural resource conservation, recycling,
and reuse. As a result, ETL has reduced 20.17% greenhouse gas emission, 25.33% natural gas
consumption, 3.3% steam, and 5.9% electricity consumption under PaCT-2, which is highly
appreciable. However, according to ETL, low prices, shifting buyer compliance requirements,
geopolitics, and insufficient infrastructure are all obstacles to progress. To recover from the
Covid-19 shock and overcome the hurdles above, ETL is pursuing a higher price level and
increased order volume. To become more competitive globally, ETL needs to emphasize
recycling and circularity, export diversification, green yarn sourcing, gender balance in the
workforce, and reducing water use and hazardous chemicals in the production process. My
internship experience at ETL multiplied the knowledge gathered from my coursework. In ETL,
I learned and understood the inner functioning of Bangladesh's reputed green textile factory.
My internship at ETL helped me grow as a person, and it also helped me learn new skills in
production, operation, management, and the denim business process that I did not have before.
Furthermore, managing a big factory-like ETL and regularly maintaining environmental and
social safeguards is a tough job that I learned from my internship. If I get the opportunity to
work with the RMG industry, the diverse knowledge and skills I have gathered from ETL will
make me ahead of others. I will continue learning about the green technologies, clean
production process, recycling, and circularity of the RMG and textile industries to grab the
upcoming opportunity and advance my career accordingly. | en_US |
