MBM Group, a long-established company in Bangladesh’s ready-made garment sector, has released its first Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report. The report was launched at an event held at the Group’s Design Studio in Gazipur on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Founded in 1983, MBM Group has grown over four decades with a focus on responsible business practices. The company has gradually built systems around ethical governance, employee wellbeing, and long-term relationships with business partners and local communities. The report has been prepared in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). It is based on a double materiality assessment and was developed with technical support from the Better Mill Initiative (BMI), implemented by Solidaridad Network Asia in collaboration with G-Star RAW and funded by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).

The Earth Public Information Collaborative (EPIC) in collaboration with IAA Global Sustainability Council has unveiled PromptZero, a tool designed to make AI use more sustainable, at the AI for Good Conference in Geneva. While systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude feel seamless, every word they generate consumes electricity and data centers already account for nearly 2% of global energy consumption, a number rising rapidly with AI adoption. PromptZero changes the game by offering a simple, copy-paste prompt that makes AI responses sharper, shorter, and more efficient. By reducing excess text, it cuts both emissions and energy use while improving clarity.
