| Abstract [eng] |
EU Green Deal and related regulations require the textile and fashion industries to adopt sustainable business practices and innovative solutions. The European Commission’s Circular Economy Action Plan identifies the textile and fashion sector as one of seven key industries necessitating strategic sustainability transitions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and broader global challenges. In response, companies in this sector are increasingly implementing measures related to sustainable production and consumption, reducing water usage, ensuring fair labour practices, adopting sustainable managerial approaches, and fostering sustainability-oriented innovations within their supply chains. Despite growing global attention to sustainability, research on sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) and circular supply chains in this industry remains fragmented. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the determinants of SOI in the textile and fashion supply chains. A synthetic literature review was employed to examine the key factors influencing the implementation of the SOI. The analysis identified three main categories of factors affecting SOI in supply chains: internal organizational factors, market- and consumer-driven elements, and regulatory and policy drivers. These determinants collectively support companies in pursuing SOI as a pathway to sustainable value creation. The study is grounded in the development of a conceptual model and contributes to both sustainability research and the application of the triple bottom lineapproach. This research offers two main contributions: first, it provides a comprehensive understanding of sustainability-oriented innovations within supply chains; second, it proposes a structured framework to examine the drivers of SOI in the textile and fashion industry. The findings serve as a foundation for future empirical studies and offer insights for stakeholders interested in advancing sustainable supply chain innovation. |
