“…Both of the studies emphasized the increasing consumer consciousness. Nevertheless, researchers are mainly in accordance with the general view that consumers' rising concerns and interest in sweatshop issues is what affects a company's reputation [82][83][84][85].…”

“…Park-Poaps and Rees [65] summarize the internal orientation as an "organizational culture in which the organizational core values address principles of fair labour management and the values are reflected on the company's internal alignments and actions". It is suggested that CSR practices can be much more effective when embedded to a company's "ethos and practice" and merely implementing codes of conduct is not enough [82,93,94]. One resulting positive effect can be the reconsideration of the sourcing policies of the buying companies in the form of avoiding orders in countries with poor labor records and exaggerated production deadlines and lead times, as the reader will note later in the supplier barrier section of this paper.…”

“…One significant barrier is the consumer himself, as four papers document [82][83][84][85]. Despite the fact that consumers show increasing awareness regarding socially responsible-produced apparel, papers report that price, quality, and style are the dominant motivating factors when purchasing clothes [81,83,84].…”

“…For a more detailed insight, one can consider stakeholder drivers in the earlier section. Ergo, focal companies formulate codes of conduct or become members of MSI groups to gain legitimacy and enhance their brand image [69,82,88,90,91]. Another six papers paid attention to a focal company's opportunity of differentiation and, thus, enhanced competitiveness through the implementation of social risk management practices [74,82,92].…”

In that regard, McCarthy and Jayarathne [91] indicate the potential of retailers to become more competitive in the market, not only to be a fashion leader but also to consider becoming an ethical leader.…”

Social Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Textile and Apparel Industry—A Literature Review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

So far, a vast amount of studies on sustainability in supply chain management have been conducted by academics over the last decade. Nevertheless, socially related aspects are still neglected in the related discussion. The primary motivation of the present literature review has arisen from this shortcoming, thus the key purpose of this study is to enrich the discussion by providing a state-of-the-art, focusing exclusively on social issues in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) by considering the textile/apparel sector as the field of application. The authors conduct a literature review, including content analysis which covers 45 articles published in English peer-reviewed journals, and proposes a comprehensive map which integrates the latest findings on socially related practices in the textile/apparel industry with the dominant conceptualization in order to reveal potential research areas in the field. The results show an ongoing lack of investigation regarding the social dimension of the triple bottom line in SSCM. Findings indicate that a company's internal orientation is the main assisting factor in sustainable supply chain management practices. Further, supplier collaboration and assessment can be interpreted as an offer for suppliers deriving from stakeholders and a focal company's management of social risk. Nevertheless, suppliers do also face or even create huge barriers in improving their social performance. This calls for more empirical research and qualitative or quantitative survey methods, especially at the supplier level located in developing countries.

Managing sustainability in luxury industry to pursue circular economy strategies

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable luxury research has received growing attention in the most recent years as it requires firms and supply chains to design circular business models and strategies to tackle environmental, financial, and social issues. However, previous research still falls short to deepen how luxury firms design and manage sustainable supply chain practices according to the circular principles. This paper adopts bibliometric and network analysis to evaluate a sample of 747 papers published over the last 35 years. The descriptive statistics and science mapping approaches utilizing cocitation analysis were performed with VOSviewer software to contribute to the ongoing development of sustainability in luxury research with the aim to develop a systemic framework for circular supply chain and offer a comprehensive overview on the topic. The main findings of this paper will help academicians and practitioners to improve the body of knowledge on the topic and provide an overview of promising future research avenues.

Configurations of sustainability‐oriented textile partnerships

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Firms configure their sustainability-oriented partnerships differently depending on the sustainability issue, partnership types, and mechanisms (product, process, policy, and awareness raising) and target change at various levels (firm, industry, supply chain, and society). We study how sustainability-oriented partnerships in the textile industry are configured by analyzing 444 partnerships using a mixed-method approach. Textile firms partner to tackle environmental issues such as circularity, waste, and sustainable materials, utilizing product and process mechanisms and create firm-level change. In contrast, these firms address social issues such as education and job development, labor and working conditions, poverty, and inequality through cross-sector partnerships that target change beyond firm boundaries. We discuss these findings critically by drawing on and contributing to two literature areas: sustainability-oriented partnerships that study partnership configurations and the sustainability in textiles. Our findings highlight the importance of issue and context specificity when partnering for sustainability.
