LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a green building rating program, operated by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a non-profit coalition of building industry leaders. The goal of the rating system is to encourage and reward sustainable design across several metrics—sustainable site choice, energy savings, water efficiency, reduction of CO2 emissions, and indoor environmental quality, among others—all while improving company profitability and employee well-being. Currently, Bangladesh has the highest number (91) of LEED-certified green garment factories in the world. It means 6 out of the top 10 LEED-certified factories worldwide are in Bangladesh
