Solutions will be effective if they are aligned with the problems that they are trying to solve.
This paper studied the most relevant social impacts of the textile industry and how appropriately
textile companies manage these social impacts, in order to achieve greater social sustainability in
global supply chains. Therefore, we attempted to determine whether companies belonging to the
textile product lifecycle identify and manage social impacts in keeping with the most relevant social
hotspots in the supply chain of the textile industry. A consistency analysis was conducted based on
the management of social indicators at the company level (identified through the analysis of contents
of their sustainability reporting) connected with social impact categories defined in the Guidelines for
Social Life Cycle Assessment of products provided by the United Nations Environment Programme,
and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and on the technical results obtained
by the textile sector through the Social Hotspots Database. The results showed a predominant
inconsistency between the main social hotspots of the textile industry showed in the footprint
analysis and the social indicators specifically reported by the sector. This paper contributes to the
literature about what sustainability management implies along global supply chains, emphasizing the
need to advance in a consistent and science-based integration of social hotspots at the sectoral level
and social management practices at the company level. In addition, the study could be relevant for
companies belonging to complex and global supply chains, since it contributes towards enhancing the
knowledge of science-based methodologies, as social life cycle assessments, for identifying, managing,
and reporting their social hotspots. [-]
