A study conducted by the Global Labor Institute at Cornell University suggests that investments in cooling measures for garment factories in Bangladesh are commercially viable. Implementing solutions such as roof insulation, reflective paint, and improved ventilation systems can be fully recovered within a four-year period. The report further encourages global brands to support these initiatives by adjusting prices for suppliers, thereby sharing the financial burden of improving working conditions for employees.
