Tiivistelmä
The present study explored the sustainability practices employed by Rashed and Brothers, a prominent entity in Bangladesh's recycling business. In its attempt to create opportunities, it has focused on waste reduction, resource utilization efficiency, and environmental impact mitigation.
This study primarily employed a quantitative methodology and involved 20 actively employed employees directly engaged in the organization's everyday activities. Pie charts have been used to provide a visual representation of staff members' perspectives regarding sustainability challenges. The results demonstrated that Rashed & Brothers achieved a degree of success in several sustainable business initiatives, despite ongoing challenges in employee training and advanced recycling efforts. Moreover, it highlighted that the implementation of new technologies and a more comprehensive connection with national agenda items, such as the National 3R Strategic Approach, might further enhance these concepts.
The objective of the thesis was to establish a sustainable culture by implementing certain proposals: improving employee training and utilizing sophisticated technologies for recycling and communication. This research sought to elucidate the notion of corporate sustainability within Bangladesh's recycling sector. It also furnished Rashed and Brothers with other concepts that may be implemented to improve their environmental initiatives. It underscored the significance of ongoing development and established a foundation for further investigation into policy interventions, technological and economic advancements, and the socio-economic impacts related to the industry.
