Jamuna Bank workshop on EU carbon regulations: CBAM, CSRD, and Digital Product Passport for Bangladeshi exporters

Jamuna Bank PLC held a capacity building workshop in Dhaka on July 25, 2026, focused on emerging EU sustainability regulations that will affect Bangladeshi exporters, especially the ready-made garment (RMG) sector. The session covered the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), and the Digital Product Passport (DPP). These rules will require companies to track and report carbon emissions and product lifecycle data to access the European market. The workshop included a live DPP platform demonstration and case studies from the RMG industry. Bank executives and corporate clients attended, signaling that financial institutions in Bangladesh are beginning to prepare for the compliance demands of these regulations. The event was led by an EU regulation expert and coordinated by the bank's Sustainable Finance Unit. For businesses in Bangladesh's export sectors, understanding these frameworks is becoming essential. CBAM will impose carbon costs on imports, while CSRD and ESPR will require detailed sustainability reporting and product passports. This workshop is one example of how local banks are trying to build capacity ahead of these requirements.
