Supply Chain 4.0: Sustainable Operations in Fashion Industry

Abstract

This study examines how the fashion industry can pursue long-term innovative developments for the creation of social, economic, and environmental value. It necessitates few changes to current operational practises. For this research, planned to observe closely and gain pragmatic insight into ESE (Economic, Social, Environmental) model and how the fashion industry can benefit from it. To do this, I’ve conducted personal interviews with representatives from various brands and analyzing their latest GRI reports. This provides with me the empirical material to analyze and draw conclusions from. Additionally, I did research to gain a better understanding of current state of fashion industry in regards to ESE model. The ESE (Environmental, Social and Economic) model is a great way for fashion brands to work towards sustainable development. It is a holistic approach that takes into account the environmental, social and economic impacts of a company's operations. This model can be used by both large and small fashion brands to ensure that their operations are sustainable and have minimal negative impacts on the environment.
