Bangladesh has the highest number of green garment units, where 57 are platinum rated, 105 gold rated, 10 silver, and four have no rating.
Dozens more units are in the process of achieving USGBC’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, a newspaper in Bangladesh reported. The country has been receiving the certificates since 2001.

The council honours factories based on several criteria, including transformation performance, energy, water and waste management.
