When we talk about circularity, we often focus only on environmental impact issues. Circular Fashion Management adds social and governance (ESG) to this approach, providing insight and helping to create a culture of circularity specific to the fashion industry. The 'E' of environmental is presented through the fight for textile waste resources and the focus on the path to net-zero fashion. The 'S' of social is described as the need to integrate social sustainability into circular fashion supply chains. The 'G' of governance for circularity is also presented in detail. The book's holistic approach is complemented by chapters on traceability, regulations and policies for circular fashion, the need for better market surveillance of textile products and the dangerous role of greenwashing. Among the opportunities and challenges discussed, the need to include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a key part of the industry, in this discussion becomes clear. Building on the work of the Monitor for Circular Fashion research observatory at SDA Bocconi, the book brings together 27 experts on traceability, sustainability and circularity in fashion to share their ideas, perspectives and tools with the aim of catalyzing change for a more sustainable future.
