Thereafter several policies, legal and contractual frameworks took place to foster petroleum extraction in Bangladesh. Bangladesh discovered 27 gas fields and natural gas has become a principal source of energy. Events of gas blowouts, corruption, environmental problem etc. surrounding natural gas activities raised the question whether natural gas operation is collinear with the concept of sustainable development. Contemporary issues relating to natural gas activities are analyzed in this paper in the light of the present policy, legal and contractual instruments for the purpose of achieving sustainable development goals in this sector. Suggestions are finally made to overcome the present challenges in this field.

major source of energy in Bangladesh and it plays a vital role
in the economic sector. There are several laws to govern the
petroleum operations in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Oil, Gas and
Mineral Corporation, which is commonly known as

contract. Model production sharing contracts have been
prepared to this purpose. This paper provides an overview of,
and analyse the existing legal, institutional and policy

In this article, the current scenario of corporate social responsibility (CSR), an emerging issue in the developing countries, is critically analyzed in reference with the existing laws and regulations in Bangladesh. This paper also examines the current status of CSR in readymade garment industries, the most important and vulnerable industrial sector in Bangladesh. It concludes that the major Bangladeshi laws related to corporate regulation and responsibility do not possess necessary features to develop a socially responsible corporate culture in Bangladesh. However, initiatives, from the local government and international community, have been taken to improve the situation.
