The CSR Centre is pleased to share with you this year its Report on CSR in Bangladesh 2017: “Promoting CSR through the SDGs for Better Business.” Since the SDGs were launched in September 2015 by the United Nations with an agenda for global development and sustainability, both the private and public sectors with development partners are engaged in addressing specific SDG targets. Today many of the MNCs and national companies are aligning their business strategies, which highlight the relevant SDGs, in order to contribute to the national development agenda and link with global initiatives for better business approaches.
This CSR Report includes interviews, articles, and case studies from various stakeholders, which are compartmentalized under SDG 4 Education, SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities, SDG 16 Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions, and SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals. It also gives a glance into the CSR Centre and its Board Members.
