| dc.description.abstract | The sustainability of textile industries is a multiple, interrelated, and complicated issue due to the nature of the industry across the manufacturing process. The textile industries in Ethiopia are more important in the supply chain for their sustainability development because of the workers' insecurity and irregular operations, while social and environmental concerns are not well controlled. Textile industries' survival and productivity are very difficult to achieve without effective control of social and environmental issues, as well as their economic status, in order to overcome pressure from government regulations, customers, and stakeholders. This study used primary data from 14 Ethiopian textile manufacturers and 60 stakeholders, including TVET institutes and universities, to assess the social and environmental importance of textile industry for sustainable development. Twelve basic social and environmental issues were identified as a result of the survey, and a correlational analysis was conducted to determine their links, Environmentally friendly resource use, emission to air, emission to land, packaging material, waste disposal system, and company policy are the key concerns associated with environmental sustainability that are analyzed in the study. Employment, health and safety issues, training, communication systems, equality, accessibility, and worker engagement are all challenges related to social sustainability. The spears man coefficient shows that social and environmental factors in general has a moderate positive correlation to each other. Beside this, waste disposal had weak relation with efficient use of resources and proper handling of workers. | en_US |
