They also want to support a company with good cause and are concerned about how the workers and labors are treated in the company,” said Carrington. Nepal is known as one of the countries where the workforce is treated fairly, so it has lots of opportunities to go in terms of marketing its product as ethically sourced to national and international level. “If Nepal can embrace transparent and ethical trade and combine that with the Nepal Trade Preference Programme (NTTP), the efforts will contribute in developing its economy,” said Carrington.</p> <p>Carrington also talked about how Nepali entrepreneurs can take advantage of the Nepal Trade Preference Programme. There are already few companies which have been transparent about their supply chain management and have been practicing it ethically and this trend has to be increased in order to expand the concept of ethical value chain and ethical supply chain management. “If Nepal is to build the economy in the future, it has to be built with transparent supply chain,” signed off Carrington.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-04-23', 'modified' => '2018-04-23', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '7825', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-04-23 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8043', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Hero Motorcycle Announces Winners of its New Year Scheme', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'April 22: Nepal General Marketing (NGM), the authorised distributor of Hero motorcycles and scooters in Nepal, has announced the winners of its 'New Year ma Parcha Parcha' scheme, which was announced on the occasion of New Year 2075.', 'content' => '<p>April 22: Nepal General Marketing (NGM), the authorised distributor of Hero motorcycles and scooters in Nepal, has announced the winners of its 'New Year ma Parcha Parcha' scheme, which was announced on the occasion of New Year 2075.</p> <p>Under this scheme, Mustakim Baidha, Ram Raja Shah, Harinarayan Prasad Shah and Punam Kumari Chaudhari received 100 percent cash back.
