The United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGPs) is the guiding international document for states and enterprises to comply with human rights in business operations and, more broadly, to ensure sustainable industrial development in a country. It facilitates states to comply with their obligations to respect, protect and fulfil human rights; on the other hand, it facilitates business enterprises to comply with national laws and rules on human rights. The study aims to examine the level of adherence of the export-oriented RMG enterprises of Bangladesh to UNGPs with a view to identifying the policy and operational intervention required to improve the compliance standard on human and labour rights.
The study employed qualitative and quantitative research approaches to assess compliance with UNGPs. It revealed that the RMG sector is still at an early stage of development with regard to institutionalising UNGPs standards. The eight components considered in the study portray micro, macro, and cross-sectoral responsibilities for maintaining human rights practices.
The study indicates that all eight indicators of human and labor rights are at an early stage of development. It found that large-scale enterprises are ahead in practicing better human and labor rights issues than medium- and small-scale enterprises. The paper highlights that there is a need to strengthen the reporting system of factories to meet UNGPs requirements and for an effective and pro-worker state of management. It recommends that factories should maintain their websites with all necessary information on human and labor rights practiced, and a UNGP-oriented short- and medium-term training program for factory management staff should be designed. Overall, the study suggests that the RMG sector in Bangladesh still struggles to comply with human and labor rights guidelines according to the UNGP framework.
