The Sustainable Development
Goals
The Sustainable Development goals (SDGs), also
known as the Global goals, were adopted by the
United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action
to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure
that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and
prosperity.
The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that
action in one area will affect outcomes in others,
and that development must balance social,
economic and environmental sustainability.
Countries have committed to prioritize progress
for those who're furthest behind. The SDGs are
designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and
discrimination against women and girls.
The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial
resources from all of society is necessary to
achieve the SDGs in every context.

2
s
Development Goals (MDGs) by achieving
several targets ahead of time. Inspired by
this success, the country set a vision to achieve
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
within 2030. Prior to the pandemic,
Bangladesh was moving at a stable pace;
however, the attainability of the SDGs
remained a valid question. Adding to the
uncertainty, COVID-19 has put a bigger
question mark. Until 2019, the government’s
“whole of society” approach that involves
ministries, private sector, civil society
organizations, non-government organizations
(NGOs), development partners, and other
stakeholders to carry out specific SDG
related tasks has brought about mixed
outcomes. While some goals like poverty
reduction, gender equality, quality education,
affordable and clean energy among others
have gained momentum, some more
ambitious goals like climate action, reduced
inequalities, peace and justice are still at a
rudimentary phase. To emerge as the next
Asian Tiger, Bangladesh needs to
metamorphose into a manufacturing-led
economy from an export-led one and thus
industrialization, innovation and infrastructure
development will remain a top priority for
the government in the coming decade.

Private sector to play important
role in SDG implementation
Green Delta Insurance Company organised
an event yesterday to publish the ‘First
report on SDGs’ at private sector level
The private sector in Bangladesh can play a vital role in the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation
process in line with the government's efforts.
Speakers said this at the Green Delta Insurance Company's
event to publish the "First report on SDGs" at private sector
level on Thursday.
"Though the government is working to meet the requirements
of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, private
sector has to play substantial roles in the SDG implementation
process," said Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen while
addressing the programme as the chief guest.
Green Delta, in partnership with the CSR Centre and CRAB Ltd
(Credit Rating Agency of Bangladesh), published the report.
The report focuses on the private sector's roles over
implementation of the SDGs in Bangladesh, based on UNGC
Principles, Global Reporting Initiative standards and OECD
Guidelines.
The foreign minister said, "Bangladesh will achieve the SDGs in
terms of the government's political commitment for
development transformation."
Managing Director and CEO of Green Delta Farzanah

52
Chowdhury said, "In light of the SDG goals, Green Delta
Insurance is working with the government and non-
government organisations to improve people's standard of
living without harming the environment."
The Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by all
United Nations member states in 2015 as a universal call to
action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and
prosperity by 2030.
Financial Institution Division Senior Secretary Ashadul Islam,
Insurance Development Regulatory Authority's Member Dr M
Mosharraf Hossain, British High Commissioner to Bangladesh
Robert Chatternton-Dickson and UN Resident Coordinator in
Bangladesh Mia Seppo were present at the programme.
CSR Centre Chairman Farooq Sobhan moderated the pre-
launching discussion meeting.
The Role of Private Sector in
Implementing Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in
Bangladesh
Introduction
Through 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the World
is going to embrace a Transformative Journey, in which Private
sector is one of the main partners.
SDG 12 (Sustainable consumption and production) and some
cross-cutting targets of SDG 8 and SDG 9 have given specific

53
importance to the Private Sector’s role.
Success of MDGs & Birth of SDGs
The MDGs were established following the Millennium Summit
of the United Nations in 2000 which consisted 8 goals, 20
targets and 60 indicators.
Bangladesh met several targets of the MDGs like reducing
headcount poverty and poverty gap ratio, reducing the
prevalence of underweight children, attaining gender parity at
primary and secondary education, under-five mortality rate
reduction, containing HIV infection with access to antiretroviral
drugs etc.
The incidence of poverty had declined on an average 1.74
percentage points in Bangladesh during 2000 to 2010 against
the MDG target of 1.20 percentage points.
Based on MDGs, SDGs were launched with much broader
coverage .
SDGs and Engagement of private Sector
Rio+20 (Earth Summit 2012)
The Rio+20 -the third international conference on sustainable
development in 2012 brought a change in the thinking about
the role of the private sector in sustainable development.
The SDGs have come to represent a great opportunity for the
development community to engage strategically with the
private sector. (The United Nations Private Sector Forum 2015)
SDGs, adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the
planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainabl

54
development agenda, officially known as ‘Transforming our
world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ spans
193 UN Member States, announced on Sept 25, 2015.
The SDGs reflect an ambitious development objective with a
transformative vision. The SDGs framework, unlike the MDGs,
has been formulated to be universal and applicable to all
countries.
Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 14
years. These are anintergovernmental set of goals with 169
targets.
SDG- 12- RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION &
PRODUCTION
Sustainable consumption and production is about promoting
resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and
providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs and a
better quality of life for all.
Achieving economic growth and sustainable development
requires that we urgently reduce our ecological footprint by
changing the way we produce and consume goods and
resources.
The efficient management of our shared natural resources,
and the way we dispose of toxic waste and pollutants, are
important targets to achieve this goal.
All these highlighted points have increased responsibilities of
the private sector many fold to be more responsible for the use
resources available in the earth.
Government is in the process of preparing a Strategy aligning
national policies with the SDGs

55
Comparison of SDG12 Goals
with 7th 5YP

sound management of chemicals and all wastes
throughout their life cycle, in accordance with
agreed international frameworks, and
significantly reduce their release to air, water
and soil in order to minimize their adverse
impacts on human health and the environment
Encourage different hazard based
contingency planning like chemical and
technological hazards, road and water safety,
nuclear and radiological risk, biological
hazards, landslide
12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste
generation through prevention, reduction,
recycling and reuse
Design and implement plans on solid waste
management in accordance with the 4R
policy (reduce, reuse, recycle, reclaim)

transnational companies, to adopt sustainable
practices and to integrate sustainability
information into their reporting cycle
Private Sector would need to be engaged

56
SDG 12 Targets 7th FYP Targets
12.7 Promote public procurement practices that
are sustainable, in accordance with national
policies and priorities
Public Procurement Policies are in the
process of updating. Private sector can be

have the relevant information and awareness
for sustainable development and lifestyles in
harmony with nature
Should be included in the strategy
12.8.a Support developing countries to
strengthen their scientific and technological
capacity to move towards more sustainable
patterns of consumption and production
Supportive projects would need to be
initiated. Private sector need special support
in this respect. SDGs would need special
attention for environmental, economic, legal,
social, technological, political and ethical
practices development.
12.8.b Develop and implement tools to monitor
sustainable development impacts for sustainable
tourism that creates jobs and promotes local

developing countries and minimizing the
possible adverse impacts on their development
in a manner that protects the poor and the
affected communities
Primary energy subsidy will be capped at
around 1% of GDP

significantly raise industries share of employment and GDP
• Increase access of SMEs to finance to improve their
contribution to the global value chain
• Increase resource –use efficiency and greater adoption of
clean and environmentally sound technologies and
industrial process
• Increase scientific research and upgrade the technological
capacities, increase innovative and substantial number of
research both in the public and private sector.
Private Sector in Bangladesh
• Private sector is recognized as the primary engine of
growth, owning and operating production systems and
accounting for most of the investment of the country.
• Total Investment outlay of 7th FYP is BDT 31.9 trillion or
USD 407 billion, of which share of private sector 77.3%(USD
314billion) and share of public sector is 22.7%(USD 92
billion). Meaning Private sector has a significant stake.
• Gross Domestic Investment as % of GDP would need to
increase from 28.97% to 34.4%. FDI is supposed
• to increase from USD 2.25 billion to USD 9.56 billion
• According to The Industrial Policy 2016 of Bangladesh the
high priority sectors are:-
• Agriculture & Food Processing
• Readymade Garment
• Information Communication Technology & Software

60
• Pharmaceuticals
• Leather & Leather Products
• Light Engineering
• Jute & Jute Goods
• In the past there were 32 Priority sectors, Private sector
proposed to reduce the number and extend support to
these sectors to come up in a bigger way. For this 7 High
priority sectors there is a serious need of Sectoral Strategy
so that Private sector can investment significantly in these
sectors.
• Main target of the National Sustainable Development
Strategy 2010-2021 is to develop Bangladesh through
economic, social development and environmental
protection (Section 1.4 of Industrial Policy 2015)
Role of Private Sector in
‘Responsible Production &
Consumption’
Becoming Efficient User of Natural
Resources
• Companies can replace natural resources with waste &
demolition waste (recycling), recycled minerals and increase
the use of bio fuels.
• Responsible management of natural resources
Reducing Food Waste & Food Losses

61
• Agricultural commodity traders can help to reduce
postharvest losses byinvesting in and ensuring better access
to processing, storage and transportation facilities
• Companies in private sector in Bangladesh can also donate
products to food aid organizations or reuse them as a
beneficial source of fertilizer
Achieving Environmentally Sound
Management of Chemicals & Wastes
• Companies in Bangladesh can minimize release of harmful
substances with wastewater and pollution of local water
and farmland by limiting the use of hazardous chemicals
during the production process.
• Step up efforts to establish eco-design programs and take-
back systems that include proper control and monitoring of
e-waste.
• Using recycled nutrients as a substitute for mineral
fertilizers
Reducing Waste through Recycling & Reuse
• IT based companies can contribute in collection handling
and recycling of e-waste.
• The Pulp & Paper industry can increase recycling rates and,
together with manufacturers, develop solutions that lead to
less wood fiber use from natural forest sources in
Bangladesh.
Integrating Sustainability Information into
the Reporting Cycle

62
• Designing manufacturing and using of efficient, safe and
more environmentally sound chemical processes and
products
• Food retailers can use their power and reach to promote
more sustainable products to their customers
Resources for SDGs
According to the estimates in the final report by the
Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable
Development Financing (ICESDF), achieving the SDGs in all
countries will require additional global investments in the
range of $5 trillion to $7 trillion per year up to 2030.
• UNCTAD estimates that out of this, developing countries will
need between $3.3 trillion and $4.5 trillion a year
• At current levels of public and private investment there will
be an annual financing gap of $2.5 trillion
SDGs in Bangladesh: Role of
private sector
Implementation of SDGs
The countries have to initiate steps in order to pursue progress
on economic, social and environmental targets, in a balanced
Financial

• International Organizations (Donations or Borrowing
• Private sector-initiated Fund
Non- Financial
• Information Infrastructure
• Awareness Buildup
• Policy

and integrated manner through public-private partnerships.
And for this, a proper mechanism needs to be developed by
the government. Involving private sector will not only help the
infrastructure grow but will also strengthen their resilience,
create more sustainable solutions while improving access to
more infrastructure services
Role of banking to achieve SDGs
Bangladesh Bank is the regulatory authority of financial sector
in the country. At least 50 out of 169 SDG targets are directly or
indirectly interlinked with Bangladesh Bank's activities. And it
has already formulated its own SDGs target mapping towards
its implementation. Bangladesh Bank has adopted pro-poor,
inclusive and sustainable monetary policies, agricultural and
SME credit policies and programmes. All these direct towards
sustainable credit flow for need-based beneficiaries.
Bangladesh Bank has developed mobile financial services,
agent banking, financial literacy and school banking, thus
strengthening consumer protection in banking. All these have
broadened access to financial services with new technology.
Besides, gender-sensitive governance policies and credit
policies have also been issued for banks and financial
institutions. The main objectives of such policies are to improve
gender equality including equal rights for women to economic
resources, as well as access to ownership and control over land
and other forms of property and financial services. This will
ultimately ensure women empowerment.
Government strategies regarding SDGS
Bangladesh has already participated in the Voluntary National
Review (VNR) of SDGs in 2017. The focal point

64
of the report was the current position of the government at
implementing the 2030 Agenda comprising seven goals. It
includes Goal-1 (Poverty), Goal-2 (Hunger), Goal-3 (Health),
Goal-5 (Gender), Goal-9 (Infrastructure), Goal-14 (Life under
water) and Goal-17 (Means of implementation).
The government of Bangladesh has adopted 'Whole of Society'
approach to ensure wider participation of NGOs (non-
government organisations), development partners, private
sector, media and CSOs (civil society organisations) in the
process of formulation of the Action Plan and implementation
of the SDGs. To spearhead the process, 'SDGs Implementation
and Monitoring Committee' has been formed at the Prime
Minister's Office to facilitate and implementation of SDGs
Action Plan. On July 17, 2017, a Planning Minister-led
delegation of Bangladesh presented the VNR to HLPF ('High
Level Political Forum') at the United Nations Headquarters
(UNHQ), New York.
The implementation strategies of the government of
Bangladesh towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals
include mapping of ministries, data gap analysis, national
monitoring and evaluation framework, needs assessment and
financing strategy and assimilation of SDGs targets in
performance agreement.
Progress report on implementation of SDGs
in BANGLADESH
General Economics Division (GED) of Bangladesh Planning
Commission under the Ministry of Planning has published a
progress report in December 2018 namely 'Sustainable
Development Goals: Bangladesh First Progress Report 2018'.

65
According to the report, most of the indicators -- based on
available data -- achieved remarkable successes during the
SDGs implementation period and are on track. However, it has
been mentioned in summary of the report, "Achieving SDGs
will critically depend on the availability of resources including
external resources. The need for enhanced international
cooperation and support has been emphasised for achieving 41
of the 169 targets. International community will have to
provide adequate and timely support to Bangladesh to help
implement a comprehensive and all-encompassing
development agenda like SDGs by 2030"
Major challenges for BANGLADESH to
implement SDGS
Resource Mobilisation is among the key challenges ahead for
Bangladesh towards implementation of SDGs. Still there are
issues like stakeholders' engagement especially ensuring
private sector engagement, data availability and management.
However, localisation of SDGs by engaging private sectors is
very important for Bangladesh to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
The country also needs to build collaboration at bilateral,
regional and global levels for capacity building and sharing of
best practices.
Localisation of SDGS
Localising the SDGs means more than just 'naming and
messaging' internationally-agreed goals at the local level. It is
all about making the aspirations of the SDGs become real to
communities, households and individuals, particularly to those
who are at risk of falling behind. For this reason, first of all,
awareness needs to be created at all levels in turning 2030
Agenda from a global vision into a local reality. And local

66
communities and stakeholders, who must know individual and
collective needs and capacities best, are critical partners in
implementing and realising the goals. Targets and indicators of
SDGs for contextualising the 2030 Agenda need to be
appropriately synchronised with local development plans and
strategies with utmost importance.
Priorities of SDGS incorporated in
development policies
The government of Bangladesh is working to formulate a 2021-
2041 development plan to make the country more developed
and prosperous by 2041. For achieving SDGs, it requires
concerted and collective efforts with strong political
commitment at all levels. The 2030 Agenda comes at a time
when Bangladesh has already kicked off its journey towards an
upper middle-income country by 2030 and a developed
country by 2041. Bangladesh has incorporated priorities of
SDGs in all of its development policies.
The government has adopted an inclusive approach to
development so that the poorest and the most vulnerable
section of the country can be integrated into its national
development efforts. In brief, Bangladesh has already been on
track towards achievement of the goals. Like many other Asian
countries, Bangladesh has demonstrated a good initiation. If
the concerted and collective efforts continue along with
commitments, it will be easier to achieve the goals through
introduction of different implementation mechanisms like
private sector engagement, localisation of SDGs and reducing
data gap analysis among others. Bangladesh is confident to set
the example of a leading SDGs achiever.
