Sustainability in the textile supply chain is a much discussed development in the public, but also in the industry itself. The anthology „CSR and Fashion – Sustainable Management in the Garment and Textile Industry“ gives an insight into the diverse aspects of the topic in the complex, worldwide textile supply chain. Elke Hortmeyer, Director Communication of the Bremen Cotton Exchange, sheds light on the beginning of the supply chain in her contribution „CSR in the area of raw material production and procurement using the example of cotton“. Various aspects of a more sustainable cultivation as well as environmental, social and economic factors are discussed in the context of CSR objectives and strategies. The article is completed by successful examples of sustainable cotton production. (The book is available in German only.)
