“…OI and stakeholder collaboration are considered to enhance the environmental dimension of stakeholder value creation in sustainable development [30], but the social dimension requires rethinking stakeholder inclusion from a capabilities approach [31]. SI can be driven and promoted in a circular economy setting when themes such as occupational health and safety, training and education, collaboration, diversity and equal opportunities are considered [31,48]. The inclusion of social aspects is deemed pivotal to promoting inbound and outbound flows of knowledge between different actors for addressing circularity and sustainability issues at a larger scale [31,47].…”

Companies are increasingly committed to pursuing social goals with the development of Social Innovation (SI), but they need to adopt adequate mechanisms to effectively manage, promote and sustain it in the long term. This paper aims to explore how businesses leverage Open Innovation (OI) practices to tackle social challenges in collaboration with SI stakeholders. We performed a multiple case study in three large manufacturing enterprises that are well-known for their excellence in innovation in terms of both SI impacts and OI depth. Results show that businesses develop and nurture a set of SI capabilities founded on purposeful knowledge exchanges across organizational boundaries, enhancing innovativeness, sustaining SI and enlarging SI social and economic outcomes. The study provides key insights into the interplay between OI and SI, still underinvestigated in the literature, identifying the capabilities that should be fostered in the innovation processes of companies tackling broad societal challenges with openness.

“…There are several papers that have studied the circularity in SC, but very few of them have addressed this circularity in the clothing and textile area. In addition, more of them have only investigated the identification of CE indicators (Griffiths & Cayzer, 2016; Pauliuk, 2018; Kristensen & Mosgaard, 2020; Saha et al, 2021; Poponi et al, 2022; Galatti & Baruque‐Ramos, 2022). However, to date, no “dashboard” or decision‐making tool is available for the SC manager to help him contribute to sustainable development goals in order to reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of the textile and clothing SC.…”

“…Regarding the social indicators, they are very little studied and often related to qualitative analysis such as human well‐being, worker conditions, and participation and social inclusion. In addition, Galatti and Baruque‐Ramos (2022) have conducted a study on the Brazilian textile and fashion industry by identifying several social indicators that enable us to assess the social innovation of the textile and fashion sector in Brazil. Finally, Saha et al (2021) have studied the implementation of the CE concept in the textile and clothing industry by considering only the economic, environmental, and social indicators.…”

“…Most of the previous works have focused only on the three main categories of CE indicators: economic, environmental, and social (Griffiths & Cayzer, 2016; Pauliuk, 2018; Kristensen & Mosgaard, 2020; Poponi et al, 2022; Galatti & Baruque‐Ramos, 2022). However, the implementation of these CE indicators in the textile and clothing SC has not yet been addressed.…”

This paper aims to propose a new dashboard in which we consider all indicators related to the sustainable supply chain (SSC) under circular economy (CE) constraints. As small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 99% of all businesses in the European Union (EU), this study mainly focuses on surveys of French textile and clothing SMEs. It aims to propose a practical and agile tool to help SC managers cope with sustainability challenges and assess the performance of CE implementation in the SC of the textile and clothing industries. To achieve this objective and to develop a relevant questionnaire enabling us to prepare and conduct surveys, we first identified 63 relevant indicators through an extensive exploratory study based on a leading group in luxury and fashion and a pioneer in corporate social responsibility (CSR). Second, we conducted a survey of 46 textile and clothing companies based in France. Finally, we proposed a new comprehensive SC manager dashboard under CE constraints. From the results, we found that there are several barriers to implementing the CE concept in the textile and clothing industry, such as a lack of sustainability performance, a lack of regulation, and a lack of mandatory responsibilities of SC actors. Hence, to cope with these barriers, the SC must be circular and sustainable by highlighting more circular practices such as recycling, eco‐design, compliance with regulations, reducing waste, minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy, and water consumption. The results revealed that our new proposed dashboard highlights all these concepts that enable us to support textile and clothing SMEs to achieve high sustainable development goals. It can also be used as a decision‐making tool to help SMEs' managers, practitioners, and researchers make better sustainability decisions.

“…Equal opportunity is also important for employee inclusion. Fair resource distribution, recruiting, and promotion practices are more likely to produce a workplace where all employees feel equal prospects for success (Galatti & Baruque-Ramos, 2022). To build an inclusive workplace where all workers have equal success opportunities, systemic barriers and biases must be removed from decisionmaking.…”

In response to the evolving landscape of contemporary workplaces and the increasing emphasis on diversity and inclusion, this research addresses existing gaps in understanding the intricate relationships shaping employee satisfaction with diversity initiatives. Recognizing the nuanced experiences within organizational contexts, the study adopts a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews to capture rich narratives and perspectives. The primary purpose of this research is to comprehensively investigate how various organizational factors collectively in􀅫luence employee satisfaction with diversity and inclusion initiatives. By examining the impact of organizational commitment, employee perceptions, training programs, team dynamics, and leadership support, the study aims to contribute a holistic understanding of the dynamics at play. The research aims to 􀅫ill gaps in the literature, considering both theoretical and practical implications for fostering inclusive workplace cultures. Conducted as a qualitative study, the research engaged 14 semi-structured interviews, employing a three-step thematic analysis approach. The selection of this method allowed for an in-depth exploration of employee experiences, offering a nuanced perspective on the interconnected variables in􀅫luencing satisfaction with diversity initiatives. The study reached data saturation, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the studied phenomena. The 􀅫indings of the study illuminate the intricate relationships among organizational commitment, employee perceptions, training programs, collaborative team dynamics, leadership support, and employee satisfaction. Noteworthy insights include the pivotal role of leadership support, the signi􀅫icance of inclusive team interactions, and the impact of well-designed training programs. The study's contribution lies in uncovering the synergies between these variables, providing actionable insights for organizations seeking to enhance diversity and inclusion initiatives. This research stands out for its holistic exploration of the interconnected variables in􀅫luencing employee satisfaction with diversity initiatives. By adopting a qualitative approach, the study captures the nuanced experiences of employees within speci􀅫ic organizational contexts. The originality lies in addressing gaps in the existing literature and offering a deeper understanding of how organizational commitment, employee perceptions, training programs, team dynamics, and leadership support collectively shape employee satisfaction. The signi􀅫icance of the study extends to both academic and practical realms, contributing theoretical insights for scholars and offering actionable recommendations for organizational leaders striving to create inclusive workplace cultures.
