Abstract
In this paper, we provide a preliminary investigation of the application
of blockchain technology as a tool for decision-making with a sustainability focus
on fashion supply chains.
In the fashion industry, information on various sustainability aspects has been the
focus of business operations. The focus on these aspects can be traced back to the
implementation and control of sustainability among suppliers. Through these
implementation and control phases, selecting the finest suppliers suited to luxury
production could be possible. In this spirit, the blockchain tool adopted for the
textile supply chain could have some advantages, emphasizing transparency and
traceability to benefit the various sustainability aspects. As commonly known, it
is possible to study the potential utilization of blockchain technology as a
decision-making tool for promoting sustainability within companies by following
different methodological approaches. In this vein, in this work, we adopted a
methodological approach that primarily entails the administration of a
questionnaire to a targeted sample of professionals within companies in the
fashion industry.
