2023 marks 10 years since the Rana Plaza disaster in a garment factory in Bangladesh, when 1,132 workers perished in a fire, the deadliest incident of its kind. In the decade since, workers, consumers, chief executives and governments are increasingly focussing on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, and the roles that they can and should play to improve living conditions, increase efficiency and generate sustainable incomes. The May/June 2023 issue of EURObiz looks at why ESG is important for European business in China, and the areas in which opportunities for investment and engagement can be found.
