Description
Summary:	Reports on the negative environmental and social effects of the garment industry and growing social awareness of sustainability are prompting two (fictional) companies, Raza and NowF, to consider adapting more elements of sustainability into their business strategies. Students will work in groups that represent either Raza or NowF to develop a new business strategy based on the specific organizational mindset of their company. The case highlights the complexity of the textile and garment supply chain and related sustainability measures regarding working conditions, environmental production and logistics, certification, supplier relations, and other marketing measures. Students are confronted with multiple decisional tensions on a company's way of making its supply chain more sustainable.
