Abstract

Sustainable development is a very broad and rich concept that refers to a global development model that presupposes the satisfaction of humanity's current needs without compromising its future. With the growing globalization, there has been a greater concern with promoting sustainable economic activities internally and in supply chains. Aligned with these concerns, this research study proposes to develop a framework for the analysis and classification of the companies` socioenvironmental impacts to be integrated in the GreenPact. This is a digital sustainable supply-chain-as-a-service platform that promotes the creation and availability of sustainable products through the relationship between brands and manufacturers, thus fostering the development of more sustainable value chains. The project supporting this study is the result of a research partnership with Zenithwings, a high-tech company focused on providing services related to Research & Innovation in the areas of Precision Agriculture and Industry 4.0. It is intended that this research contributes to a greater awareness of the considerable socio-environmental impacts of the supply chains in the textile sector. It is also expected to highlight the importance of using performance indicators as key tools to verify whether companies adopt good practices for mitigating socio-environmental impacts.
