Authority Partner Selection
Which authority should be engaged first — SREDA, BGMEA/BKMEA, a German buyer brand compliance team, or a combination?
Authority partners validate the platform’s credibility and can drive adoption through mandate or recommendation. SREDA (Bangladesh) carries government legitimacy. BGMEA/BKMEA provides access to the garment factory membership base. German buyer brands (H&M, Primark, Inditex sourcing teams) carry ESG compliance mandates that directly pull factory adoption.
Options
SREDA (BD government regulator)
BGMEA / BKMEA (BD industry association)
German buyer brand sourcing team (H&M / Primark / Inditex)
Combined — 1 BD government + 1 BD association + 1 German brand
