Businesses are increasingly emphasizing environmental and energy-related issues and concerns. These issues have been identified in the Annual Executive Opinion Survey conducted by the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) during April – July 2021. The objective of the perception survey was to identify businessmen’s perception of the state of the business environment during 2020, especially during the period of the pandemic. The environment and clean energy-related issues have been covered in the survey particularly to trace their relationship with business competitiveness, environmental sustainability, and managing risk along with other issues. The survey was conducted among 73 businesses who are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Narayaongonj, and Gazipur.
