The Role of Project Management for Improving Sustainability in the Textile Industry of Bangladesh
Year: 2025
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The Bangladesh textile industry contributes immensely to the economy of Bangladesh but is under more pressure to go for sustainability due to environmental, social, and economic needs. The objective of this study is to analyse the current sustainability in the industry, the demand for sustainable project management (SPM), and the mechanism through which SPM can be applied practically. The research is based on project management, sustainability, and industrial change theories, and is carried out through qualitative approaches, semi-structured interviewing, and documentation analysis of two textile firms. The findings recognize that while awareness about sustainability is in creasing, actual implementation remains low—particularly in small and medium enterprises. The key constraints are operational high costs, absence of adequate training, weak policy environments, and absence of digital platforms. The study establishes that SPM's effective usage through government incentives and capacity building is essential to ensuring long-term viability of the textile sector.
