The “Unlocking Insights: Environment & Social (E&S) Reporting and Grant Disbursement Workshop” organized by SREUP, funded by development partners including Agence Française de Développement (AFD), European Union in Bangladesh (EU), KfW Development Bank (KfW), The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Government of Bangladesh (GoB, brought together key stakeholders.

PFIs and their RMG clients collaborated to invest in safety retrofit, environmental, and social upgrades in factories financed by SREUP. The event aimed to establish a common understanding of responsive E&S reporting practices and the SREUP grant disbursement mechanism, with reflections on current reporting practices. Participants included PFIs, RMG clients availing pre-finance facilities, and those newly applying for such facilities. The clarity provided on E&S reporting components and grant disbursement mechanisms was widely appreciated by all attendees.
