This tracker documents what major apparel brands that manufacture in Bangladesh have publicly disclosed across carbon targets, supplier transparency, science-based targets, and climate-related commitments. Bangladesh is the world's second-largest garment exporter and among the most climate-exposed manufacturing economies.

Three of the eight tracked brands are signatories to the Bangladesh Accord on Building and Fire Safety — the most significant binding commitment mechanism in the sector. However, Accord membership does not include climate disclosure requirements.
Fewer than half of tracked brands have SBTi-approved targets. None translate those commitments to Bangladesh-specific reporting, despite Bangladesh being one of the most flood-exposed garment manufacturing economies.
Data compiled from: CDP, World Bank, Germanwatch, Bangladesh Accord, Clean Clothes Campaign, corporate sustainability reports, peer-reviewed research. No figures estimated without disclosure. Independent research — not affiliated with any NGO, government, or brand. Last updated April 2026.
