Fashion was one of the first industries that outsourced production to developing countries and allowed exploitation and environmental pollution to remain hidden. But concerns regarding the industry&#8217;s (un)sustainability are rising, regarding both the environmental and the social aspects. Fashion consumption is on the rise and the industry is among the most polluting ones. With this paper, I join the debate on how to force fashion MNCs to operate sustainably. There are two opposing views on where change should come: from above (regulation) or from below (change in customer habits and the activity of sustainable fashion NGOs). According to one view, fashion is underregulated and only legislation can be a solution: MNCs will only\u00a0operate sustainably if they are forced by law. The other group claims that customers should drive green initiatives as their demand catalyzes MNC production. I claim that neither side is enough, as\u00a0sustainability is not necessarily the number one consideration for customers or policymakers. In this conceptual paper, I use document analysis as a qualitative approach, and descriptive statistics to support my position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From below or from above: How to force fashion MNCs to be more sustainable &nbsp; Author: Emese Dobos In: Society and Economy, 18 Aug 2023 DOI: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/204.2023.00017 &nbsp; Abstract Multinational companies in the fashion industry operate on a global level.
