Social Sustainability Management Practice in the Textile Industry

Social sustainability management involves practices to manage the business impact on people. The objective of this paper is to identify social sustainability management practices in the textile industry. The method used is a systematic literature review from the academic database Scopus, and the selected articles were screened using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. In analysing the reviewed literature, we referred to social sustainability management practices commonly discussed by prior researchers, including safety working, labour conditions and human rights, society, and product responsibility. Additionally, we attempted to identify the impacts generated by social sustainability management practices. This study expands the body of knowledge on social sustainability management by systematically synthesizing various social sustainability practices as discussed in the literature.
