Sustainability & Compliance

Workplace

Work Place Environment

As a responsible apparel producer, Emaz Fashion Wear Ltd provides employees a work environment high above the law-required level. We have installed and updated lighting, ventilation and ergonomics of our plants using the latest technologies like bus bar electrical fitting, overhead mirror reflectors for lamps and forced duct ventilation. The goal is to exceed the requirements of local legislation and reach global standards — thereby supporting clients' images and sourcing principles.

Clearly demarcated emergency routes & exits, smoke & fire detectors and consciously designed working layouts ensure a safe workplace. As per ISO requirements, instructions and warning signs are posted in highly visible places inside the factory in the local language (Bangla). Needle guards during sewing and similar procedures significantly reduce work-related accidents.

Besides being safe, our workplace offers a congenial & supporting environment for all: managerial staff and workers work in mutual cooperation and respect. We consciously empower women — not only by recruiting more women, but by undertaking assertive programs to train & promote women to higher levels.

Besides paying a living wage substantially higher than the legal minimum, Emaz Fashion Wear Ltd supports its employees with welfare facilities like a medical center, day-care center and canteen. The result is an industry-low turnover rate.

Our medical unit — equipped with full-time doctors and nurses — extends consultation & medication for workers' general health, and bears full expenses of treatment of any injury incurred in working hours. The day-care center is a pride-taking facility: spacious, hygienic, properly furnished and supervised by trained personnel.

Adequate canteen facilities, safe drinking water and hygienic lavatories make Emaz a good place to work. An interest-free loan fund assists workers in emergencies, and a Pick & Drop program ensures a comfortable journey between home and work. Every year we arrange Emaz Utshab, Executives Day, Family Day, Camp Out, Picnics and Mezban for workers and their families.

Ethics

Safety & Integrity

Emaz Fashion Wear Ltd strictly adheres to ethical business practice. We carry out compliance as a continuous process, and exceed local legislation to meet ILO conventions in terms of employment practice and safety. Our Compliance Management Team monitors and reviews activities throughout the organization.

For the safety of workers we have improved workplace conditions, set up noticeable warning signs in the local language, enforced the usage of safety equipment and built awareness among the workforce. The workplace has clearly demarcated emergency exits and equipment.

Emaz strongly opposes forced labour, child labour, racism, discrimination and exploitation of workers, and makes every possible effort to discourage such misconduct. We employ individuals solely on the basis of their qualifications.
