PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the issues currently involved in social and environmental sustainability in the clothing industry.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts a case study approach to investigate a business that operates successfully in this challenging market.FindingsAs a consequence of increasing demand for ethical clothing, it has become standard practice for UK clothing retailers to develop CSR policies which impact upon their methods of garment sourcing and partnerships with suppliers. There is also a significant trend for retailers to offer ethical clothing ranges made from organic cotton or produced by Fair Trade manufacturers. The paper includes a case study on People Tree, which sells Fair Trade clothing sourced from developing countries. People Tree is rare amongst clothing companies in that it provides customers with a transparent view of its production sources via the internet. The company provides an example of how socially responsible and environmentally sustainable global sourcing can be applied in practice.Research limitations/implicationsThe study focuses on aspects of sustainability in an individual retailer. This could be extended to other ethical retailers in different countries, and a longitudinal study of such companies could be conducted.Originality/valueLiterature on ethical fashion companies and their use of socially responsible strategies is sparse, and there is a lack of research that covers both social and environmental sustainability in this market. This paper fills some of the gaps.

"Arising from foundations in green and eco consumerism alongside corporate social responsibility, ethical consumption is a multi-disciplinary area of research, incorporating perspectives from marketing, psychology and sociology. This shortform book presents an expert overview of the empirical evidence on ethical consumption. It takes both an historical and thematic perspective, covering definitions of ethical consumption, typologies of ethical consumer practices, successes brought about from consumer action and an current challenges. It also focuses on the emergence of contemporary perspectives on ethical consumer behaviour from three discrete perspectives; those focusing on consumer segmentation (the profiling of ethical consumers), those which take a psychological approach (the decision-making processes which underpin ethical consumption), and those which are sociological in nature (the identities and practices which underpin ethical consumption). The book finally synthesises these perspectives in the context of the 'problems' that are often claimed to exist, such as the existence of the 'attitude-behaviour gap', and provides conclusions which make recommendations for practice and further research. It will be of interest to academics and students of marketing, consumption and related fields, as well as to practitioners and policy makers who want to understand more about the evidence pertaining to ethical consumers, what motivates them, and how to encourage and educate them to consume more ethically."--

PurposeThe paper explores the notion of worker voice in terms of its implications for supply chain justice. The paper proposes the value of the recognition perspective on social justice for framing workers' experiences in global supply chains and identifies opportunities for the advancement of the worker voice agenda with recognition justice in mind.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts a conceptual approach to explore the notion of worker voice in supply chains in terms of the recognition perspective on social justice.FindingsSustainable supply chain management (SSCM) scholarship has considered worker voice in terms of two key paradigms, which we term communication and representation. To address recognition justice for workers in global supply chains, the worker voice agenda must consider designing worker voice mechanisms to close recognition gaps for workers with marginalised identities; the shared responsibilities of supply chain actors to listen alongside the expectation of workers to use their voice; and the expansion of the concept of worker voice to cut across home-work boundaries.Originality/valueThe paper offers conceptual clarity on the emerging notion of worker voice in SSCM and is the first to interrogate the implications of recognition justice for the emergent worker voice agenda. It articulates key opportunities for future research to further operationalise worker voice upon a recognition foundation.
