As part of our unwavering commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility, SGS Bangladesh recently extended its support to the flood-affected regions through a significant donation aimed at providing relief to the impacted communities. This initiative reflects our core values of sustainability and community welfare, aligning with our long-term vision of creating a positive and lasting impact on society.
In recent times, severe flooding caused widespread devastation in several areas of Bangladesh, displacing families and disrupting livelihoods. In mid-August, heavy rainfall has triggered flash floods, leading to the submergence of south-eastern regions of the country. The damage has been catastrophic, with more than fifty lives lost and 5.5 million people across 11 districts severely affected. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, SGS Bangladesh swiftly mobilized its resources to assist in the recovery efforts. Our relief pack equivalent to 5 lacs BDT included essential supplies such as rice, medicine, soap, feminine care etc. was handed over to Bangladesh Army to ensure timely and effective distribution to those in need.
On 2 September 2024, the Country Manager of SGS Bangladesh, Mr. Abdur Rashid, along with other senior management team of the company, handed over 350 relief bags to Bangladesh Army for distribution in the worst-affected areas.
This donation is part of SGS Bangladesh's ongoing efforts to engage in meaningful sustainability and CSR activities, contributing to the well-being of communities and the environment. Through this initiative, SGS Bangladesh continues to uphold its mission of creating a positive impact while supporting those affected by natural disasters.
