| Abstract | Sustainability has become a critical trend for US and European fashion industry, it led the retail brands to pressure manufacturers to operate in a more sustainable and socially responsible manner. However, TAL is a manufacturer that proactively embraced the concept of sustainable production without the pressure of their clients and remains one of the world leaders in sustainable manufacturing movement. TAL established its own detailed internal standards of environmental and social governance, that make sustainability an integral part of all aspects of its business; from environmentally sustainable manufacturing facilities, safe working environment, active employee engagement to supplier management. They further engage in industry wide collaborations that include participation in Sustainable Apparel Coalition and production of recycled cotton clothing collection with Patagonia. In this case study, we attempt to add to the current knowledge of sustainable supply chain management by providing an example of sustainable manufacturing model using the Sustainable Supply Chain Network Innovation Model. Data was collected through the use of secondary data and semi-structured interviews with the executive officers, Dr. Delman Lee, President and CTO and Christelle Esquirol, Vice President of Sustainability of TAL Apparel Group. |
