Compliance, ESG & Sustainability Advisory Services

(From Factory Floor to Boardroom Dashboard)

We make your sourcing future-proof – We help European fashion brands, importers and retailers navigate the fast-evolving landscape of EU sustainability, ESG, and due diligence regulations — while ensuring their suppliers in Bangladesh and South Asia achieve full compliance, transparency, and competitiveness.

Our mission is simple:

To protect your market access and brand reputation by managing every layer of mandatory and voluntary compliance — end to end.

Why Compliance Has Become Strategic

From 2025 onward, the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) — including the Digital Product Passport (DPP) — are transforming how apparel products are designed, manufactured, and placed on the EU market.

Simultaneously, international frameworks such as the ILO Core Conventions and OECD Due Diligence Guidelineshave moved from voluntary principles to enforceable standards under GSP+ trade preferences.

For every brand and retailer sourcing from Bangladesh, this means:

Full traceability of social and environmental performance across all tiers

Evidence-based ESG reporting aligned with EU standards

Digital transparency of every garment’s lifecycle and footprint

Non-compliance is no longer a legal risk — it is a market access risk.

Our Role as Your Chief Compliance Partner

Stein & Partners acts as your Chief Compliance Advisor in Bangladesh and the region — managing, auditing, documenting and continuously improving your suppliers’ alignment with:

EU Regulations: CSDDD, CSRD, ESPR, DPP, REACH, EUDR

International Conventions: ILO Core Labour Standards, OECD Guidelines, UN Global Compact

Buyer & Brand Standards: BSCI, SMETA, WRAP, SA8000, Higg FEM/FSLM, ZDHC, ISO 14001/45001

We provide a single point of responsibility for compliance, so you can focus on design, marketing and sales — while we manage the complexity on the ground.

From Factory Floor to Boardroom Dashboard

We deploy a digital compliance management system that turns scattered factory data into actionable dashboards for your EU reporting teams — including:

Social & environmental KPIs (energy, water, waste, emissions)

Worker rights & occupational safety metrics

REACH / RSL / ZDHC chemical compliance status

Product-level material and carbon data (ready for DPP integration)

This ensures full traceability from spinning mill to store shelf — meeting the transparency expectations of regulators, investors, and conscious consumers alike.
