Similarly, it is intended to answer the research question “What is the status of the CSR practice and reporting in the RMG industry in Bangladesh in the context of the case study of the Rana Plaza collapse?” And “How can the regulation of CSR reporting and practice be improved to enhance social sustainability and create a sustainable supply chain in the RMG industry in Bangladesh?” This research uses an extensive literature-based approach and a case study based on the qualitative method. The key findings/results of this research are the poor conduct of CSR practice and social sustainability which included poor basic wages, poor safety and violation of workers’ rights which led to the collapse of Rana plaza Complex.
