In order to achieve this aim, the detailed content analysis method, which is one of the qualitative methods, was used. Europe plays a leading role in sustainability in the textile industry. Textile enterprises in this region adopt sustainable practices such as the use of environmentally friendly materials, the preference of renewable energy sources, waste management and recycling. They also prioritize social responsibilities. The sustainability policies and guidelines of the European Union help businesses set their sustainability goals and make sustainability reports.
Businesses adopt and apply sustainability principles to fulfill their environmental, social and economic responsibilities. This study will help to understand and evaluate the sustainability approaches of textile businesses in Europe. Analysis of the sustainability performance of businesses will contribute to the identification and sharing of good practices in the industry. In addition, information about the challenges faced by businesses and future prospects is both a problem and an important source of information for policy makers and academics.
In the study, it is emphasized that successful businesses in sustainability should be determined and shared with good practices in the sector and that more businesses should focus on sustainability goals. This will be an important step towards a healthier and more sustainable world.
