Fashion is characterised by rapidly changing trends and consumption patterns which have led to complexities and dynamism of the fashion supply chain (SC). Excessive generation of wastes highlights the need for innovative ways to address unsustainable practices by feeding the waste back into the supply chain system. This paper reviews the extant literature on sustainability within the fashion industry’s supply chain to establish available sustainability practices to manage post-consumer textile waste (PCTW) at garment end of lifecycle. Four sustainable practices emerged from the review—education and engagement, recovery and redistribution, reuse, and recycling—and are central to a framework that shows the interaction of garment end of lifecycle practices and could the achievement of strategic competitive advantage. Our findings emphasise the importance for interaction and collaboration between consumers and retailers and further involvement of the entire supply chain. In addition, sustainability paradoxes were evident across the sustainable practices. To avoid this, for retailers are urged to shift towards cradle to cradle (closed loop) lifecycle supply chains. Furthermore, retailers should evaluate the practices they adopt by questioning their aim in the achievement of sustainability. We suggest that firms should consider the entire supply chain when adopting a sustainable practice and each agent’s role in achieving the overall outcome of sustained competitive advantage.

The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda has further propelled the need for the private sector to engage with sustainable development. Corporate sustainability research seeks to specifically address this; however, extant literature highlights a paucity of research on how this occurs. In this study, we utilise an emerging process that has been identified to support managers in addressing sustainability—the corporate sustainability assessment (CSA). Utilising an in-depth case study and qualitative data collection, this study highlights how CSAs are a systematic and comprehensive approach to guide managers in how they can address sustainability. This study empirically examines three distinct but interconnected aspects of the CSA including the sustainability governance system, measurement of sustainability performance and sustainability reporting. With scant empirical studies on both CSAs and multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in emerging markets, this study provides unique insights into two key traits of MNEs to understand the interplay between home- and host-country contexts and the industrial sector the MNE is operating within.

This study investigates what issues are considered by Japanese manufacturing multinational enterprises to be related to corporate sustainability when deciding on the location or significant expansion of their subsidiaries. Focusing on the developing countries of the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam where there are significant Japanese manufacturing activities in an environmentally sensitive region, in-depth interviews were carried out with 58 representatives from 16 Japanese manufacturing multinational enterprises. Results identify that these multinational enterprises considered four main issue areas including the environment (waste material/water; air pollution; water supply; noise; green procurement), host country employment (size of workforce; above minimum wages; rights to association; women employment/empowerment; worker safety), workforce quality (experience/training; local employment) and local consumer benefits (product benefits/impact on lifestyle) as being related to corporate sustainability issues beyond purely commercial drivers. Host country regulations had a notable impact on the issues considered by the multinational enterprises, although some voluntarily moved beyond what was required albeit in a minimal way. These findings address a paucity of studies examining a holistic perspective on sustainability, with previous research on Japanese multinationals tending to adopt an anthropocentric focus. In doing so, with a greater insight into what issues are considered to be corporate sustainability from the multinational enterprises’ viewpoint, this research has important implications in informing host country governments developing their policies and regulations to ensure relevant corporate sustainability issues are included.
