However as a corporate citizen of just not of Bangladesh, but of the world, we have also begun our own battle in trying to make our world a better place to live.

    Kay and Que is a strong believer in the 10 principals set by the UNGC and is convinced that there principles will guide the path to a more harmonious business climate. We have always paid utmost attention so that our consumers are delivered with quality products and also ensured that our trade suppliers have always maintained the practices possible. Currently we are examining a diversified new project more environmental friendly.
