Abstract:

A critical weakness in the environmental management systems in the textile and garment sector is the lack of business services to provide high level, technical expertise, and services in environmental management. These types of knowledge activities and services are referred to as knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) and are critical in supporting innovation and new knowledge acquisition in workplaces and sectors. Analysis and mapping of KIBS access and availability in four countries – Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Viet Nam highlights access to these services is hampering enhanced environmental sustainability in the sector. This Brief summarises the comparative analysis of these four country studies.
