Highlight 1: Why should the supply chain of fashion industry pursue sustainability?
The textile industry, especially fast fashion, requires the consumption of vast amount of energy, water and chemicals, while causing problems of sewage and carbon emissions. This conflicts with the goal of sustainable development we pursue.
Sustainable development is the key to survival of this all-encompassing, fast-growing, labour-intensive and stakeholder-driven industry. It is necessary for businesses to understand the rapidly-changing environment and its impacts to stay competitive.
