In the journey toward building a sustainable and attractive foreign direct investment (FDI) environment in Bangladesh, investing in human capital is just as critical as infrastructure, policy, and economic incentives. Recognizing this, Bata Bangladesh has renewed its impactful partnership with SOS Children's Village International at Bangladesh to address two key pillars of community development: youth employability and psychosocial support for children.
This partnership reflects our belief that economic growth and social development go hand in hand. By equipping young people with market-relevant skills and preparing them for the evolving job landscape, we are not only improving individual livelihoods but also strengthening the national talent pool-a fundamental enabler of sustainable FDI.
On the other hand, psychosocial support for children-especially those from underserved communities- ensures the emotional resilience and mental well-being of the next generation. A stable and supported youth population lays the foundation for a productive and inclusive society, which investors increasingly look for when entering emerging markets.
The agreement signing ceremony was a reaffirmation of our long-term commitment to inclusive development. It was followed by a Code of Conduct session, underscoring our dedication to ethical collaboration and shared accountability with our partners.
As Bangladesh continues to attract global investors, initiatives like these demonstrate how corporate-NGO partnerships can contribute to a more robust, socially responsible investment climate-one where both people and businesses thrive.
At Bata Bangladesh, we are proud to be part of this transformation. Because building a better Bangladesh isn't just about creating opportunities-it's about preparing people to seize them.
