Get Access to FairCapacity Assessments & Capacity Building

Garment suppliers in Bangladesh can also sign up for Management System Assessments (based on SAI’s Social Fingerprint model), to help them measure and map a path to improve on social performance—a company’s preparedness to manage a socially responsible workplace or supply chain. Companies receive a score report and improvement plan, access to one-on-one support from our expert trainers, and customized tools to support improvement.

If interested, please reach out to the Bangladesh program lead, Abdul Alim. Our country leads are a local resource for FairCapacity participants and are experts in assessing management systems and labor performance and supporting improvements for companies of all types.
