Descripción del proyecto
Transición justa a una industria de la moda circular y con bajo impacto ambiental
La industria de la moda ha recibido críticas por perjudicar el medio ambiente, cometer violaciones de los derechos humanos y ofrecer unas pésimas condiciones laborales a los trabajadores. El objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos FReSCH es favorecer la transición de esta industria hacia unas prácticas ambientalmente sostenibles basadas en la justicia y la equidad. El proyecto investigará las estrategias óptimas para una transición justa, equitativa e inclusiva a una industria de la moda circular e hipocarbónica mediante el empleo de una metodología novedosa. Esta iniciativa será una de las primeras en estudiar la sostenibilidad económica, ambiental y social a fin de comprender los compromisos, las tensiones y los resultados de la transición hacia un modelo más viable.
Objetivo
The fashion industry is harming the environment and is also creating psychological and health impacts for workers due to poor working conditions and human rights abuses. Much of the focus of the fashion industry is on environmental sustainability with social sustainability largely ignored. There are trade-offs not only between business goals and sustainability but also between environmental and social sustainability practices. Ensuring environmental sustainability requires a parallel focus on justice and fairness. This action will contribute to the thematic European Commission priorities in terms of building a climate-neutral, fair and social Europe, and sustainable fashion value chains. It will research the optimal strategies for a just, fair and inclusive transition to a low-carbon circular fashion industry. This action is one of the first to investigate economic, environmental and social sustainability to understand the trade-offs, tensions and outcomes between these three in the transition to a low-carbon circular fashion industry. By using a novel methodology, simultaneous multi-level action research, this action will take a top-down and bottom-up perspective by examining a fashion supply chain in transition, H&M and its suppliers, in a country characterised by complex economic, environmental and social issues, Turkey. Action research in H&M will be instrumental in understanding the development of strategies and resources to cascade environmental and social sustainability practices throughout its supply chains. While, action research with suppliers, ‘Worker Circles’, will uncover the realities of SME suppliers and the outcomes of economic and environmental demands on working conditions and human rights practices to enable worker self-determination to solve problems in unique context-specific and customised ways.
