Extended producers’ responsibility (EPR) and its impact on the FMCG industry: Unilever Bangladesh

Abstract

This internship report gives a detailed account of my experience during my internship with the Legal team at Unilever Bangladesh Limited. It is divided into three parts: an overview of the internship, an analysis of the organization, and a project completed during the internship. The first chapter covers the details of my internship, including the objectives, outcomes, contributions I made, and the challenges and benefits I experienced. It also includes suggestions for improving future internships at the company based on my observations. The second chapter provides an in-depth look at Unilever Bangladesh Limited. It describes the company, its management practices, and its financial performance. The financial analysis is done using ratio calculations, and I also review the company's position in the market through industry and competitor analysis. The third chapter focuses on the project I worked on, which explores Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and its impact on the FMCG industry. It discusses the issues with current waste management practices and the legal framework in Bangladesh. It also highlights Unilever’s sustainability efforts, especially their waste management initiatives, and how they are addressing these challenges.
