The practice of sustainability is an important subject to integrate into the management, product planning, manufacturing by textile and fashion companies as well as consumption by end-users. This study shows an evaluation scale designed to assess the practical cases in order to suggest efficient and systematic methods to fulfill the practice of sustainability in textile and fashion companies. First, companies should practice environmental sustainability to use eco-friendly material and cleaner production, protect the environment, and save natural resources. Second, social sustainability is required to fulfill social responsibility and ethical needs. Third, companies should perform various innovative activities, transparency in management, fair competition and economic contribution in the local community in order to maintain economic sustainability to survive in industry. Finally, cultural sustainability should be fulfilled by textile and fashion companies as part of the intellectual-cultural industry in a way that increases the importance of ethnic and cultural diversity. Textile and fashion companies should fulfill four environmental, social, and economic cultural sustainable subjects in a balanced method to accomplish sustainability. The concerns and practices of environmental sustainability are comparatively highly rated due to the analysis of the evaluation scale. However, cultural sustainability (a need of the times) is poorly rated and needs more attention. Therefore, the evaluation scale can be used as a standard tool to fulfill the sustainability of companies and brands from the viewpoint of improving poor and insufficiently sustainable items as well as balancing sustainability management.

본 연구는 사회적협동조합에 대한 이론적 검토와 4차에 걸친 실태조사 결과를 바탕으로 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성에 대해 협동조합 7대 원칙을 중심으로 사회적·경제적·환경적 측면에서 논의하고자 하였다. 지속가능성의 문제는 "미래 세대가 그들의 필요를 충족시킬 능력을 저해하지 않으면서 현재 세대의 필요를 충족시키는 발전, 자원의 이용, 투자의 방향, 기술의 발전 그리고 제도변화가 서로 조화를 이루며 현재와 미래의 모든 세대의 필요와 욕구를 증진시키는 변화의 과정"으로 정의되었듯이. 사회적 가치와 환경보전 그리고 경제성장이 상호 대립되는 개념이 아닌 조화와 균형으로 미래 세대에도 지속가능한 사회를 연결하자는 의미를 담고 있다. 지속가능한 발전에 담겨진 사회적·경제적·환경적 지속가능성의 개념과 협동조합 7대 원칙과 연계성을 정리한 결과, 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성에 대해 다음과 같이 제언하고자 한다. 첫째, 지역사회 밀착형 사회공헌에 노력해야 한다. 둘째, 공익과 더불어 수익모델을 창출해야 한다. 셋째, 파트너십을 강화해야 한다. 본연구를 통해 사회적협동조합이 실현하고자 하는 공익적 가치와 목적을 살펴볼 때, 지속가능한 발전의 세 가지 범위는 현 사회적경제 조직이 직면하고 있는 사회적·경제적 가치 추구를 위한 중요한 행위자로서의 역할과 직결된다 하겠다. 따라서 사회적협동조합의 지속가능성 문제는 사회적협동조합이 추구하는 목적과 가치가 환경적·사회적·경제적 측면에서의 조화와 균형발전이라는 개념에 기초하여 사회적협동조합 스스로의 노력뿐만 아니라 정부의 제도적인 뒷받침이 제시되어야 할 것이다.

The board of directors play an important role in corporate climate strategy-making and decisions but might also compromise environmental policies to minimize agency cost. This study critically investigates the relationship between the attributes of the board of directors and the degree of sustainability performance for the energy sector as discussed in the literature. Our study cumulates existing knowledge offering important characteristics for a balanced board structure to increase the board's effectiveness in adopting sustainable initiatives that could reduce the adverse impact of an energy corporation's operation on the environment. Crucial attributes of the board of directors deemed to be positively associated with the commitment to reduce carbon footprint in the environment have been identified. Based on our extensive analysis of the literature we propose a conceptual framework that measures the influence of the board of directors' attributes on corporate environmental and social sustainability performance. The proposed framework will be useful as an initial step for top management and regulators to gain a better understanding of the balanced board structure required to achieve the social and environmental sustainability performance of corporations. Further, this paper contributes to a body of knowledge about how the board of directors could play a crucial role in monitoring social and environmental threats.

This study explores sustainability education in textile and apparel (T&A) programs in U.S. higher education institutions. Specifically, the researchers study whether more courses with sustainability focus are offered in higher-ranked institutions and explore whether sustainability is taught more in specific T&A related subject fields. Content analysis was conducted for 3,200 courses found in online course catalogs or the course information sites of 69 institutions. Institutions were selected from the 2015 rankings of the top 50 fashion design and top 50 fashion merchandising schools in the US on www.fashion-schools.org. All cases were coded by two coders with a Cohen's Kappa score of 97.5%, indicating good interrater reliability. Coded data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and t-tests. The findings show that sustainability is being integrated into the curricula and across courses of T&A programs in the U.S. Over half of the institution surveyed offered at least one sustainability embedded course. Higher ranked institutions provided more sustainability-related courses than power-ranked institutions. A natural match between the subject field and specific sustainability theme was observed (e.g., cultural diversity in history/culture and social psychology/education; recycle/reuse in textile science; sustainability in fashion design; social responsibility and ethics in industry/consumer). The need to introduce sustainability in courses holistically is discussed, whereby sustainability within the industry supply chain is examined in a connected way.

기업은 사회의 구성원으로서 사회적 책임을 다해야 하는 의무가 있다. 비록 기업이 사회적 책임을 완수하기 위해서 기업의 자원을 일정 부분 소비하지만 이러한 기업의 사회적 책임활동은 사회적 불평등을 해소하는데 도움을 주고 있다. 한편, 기업의 사회적 책임활동은 기업의 지속적 성장과 관련이 높을 수 있다. 많은 선행연구들은 기업의 사회적 책임활동과 기업의 지속가능성에 대해 관심을 가지고 있다. 그러나 기존의 선행연구들은 변수들간의 관계를 단순하게 선형이라고 가정하고 있기 때문에 복잡한 현실세계를 반영하지 못하는 한계점 또한 존재하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 마코브 블랭킷을 통해 변수들간 최소한의 상관관계를 도출하고 베이지안 네트워크를 통해 다양한 현실세계 속에서 변수들간의 관련성을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 본 연구에서 사용한 민감도분석은 복잡한 현실세계에서 다양한 변수들간의 변동성을 파악하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 기업의 지속가능성에 관심이 많은 투자자와 채권자들에게 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 왜냐하면, 그들은 기업의 가치에 관심이 많은데 사회적 책임활동은 기업의 가치에 긍정 또는 부정적인 영향 모두 미칠 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구의 중요한 결과로 기업의 미래이익지속성은 당연히 영업이익과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 기업의 지배구조가 건전할수록 기업은 안정적으로 사회적 책임을 완수하는 모습을 보였다. 그러나 기업의 규모가 크다고 하여 기업 관련 법규를 잘 준수하는 것을 아니라는 것이 나타났다. 이는 최근의 많은 기업들이 법규를 준수하지 않아 사회적 지탄을 받는 일과도 무관하지 않을 것이다. 한편, 기업의 지속가능성이 자본시장에 미치는 영향을 고려할 때 이러한 자본시장을 감독하는 관계당국도 본 연구의 결과를 활용하여 정책을 입안하거나 규정을 정비하는데 도움을 받을 수 있을 것이다.

Entering into the 21th century, the whole world is facing the various problems such as environmental disruption, resource exhaustion, and social isolation due to the consequences of population growth and economic development. Especially, as the world population is aging, the solutions for these problems are being suggested with a new paradigm of environmental design for sustainable society providing more affluent and safer life for them. Aging societies are experiencing the difficulty in pursuing persistent vitality of life when aged population is socially excluded, and communities are stagnant due to the decrease of economic activities. In other words, those factors are causing the problems of social sustainability associated with the vital duration of local society and communities. In order to develop successful environment for aging society, it is necessary for us to precisely review how advanced countries are changing their directions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine current trends of the aging friendly environment and find out the measures to promote social sustainability under the crisis of aging society. For this purpose, using qualitative methods, this study analyzed the contents presented at a professional conference , that showed current trends clearly, into three dimensions of social sustainability; the social integration of senior living communities with local society, the vitality of the communities, and the invigoration of individual senior lives. As a result, this study found that the measures that attempt to enhance the social sustainability of aging population can be also used to invigorate the communities.

Feeding pigs used to be a means of managing domestic resources that may otherwise have been wasted into valuable animal protein. Feeding pigs thus was a form of husbandry. Following recent rapid industrial development, pig rearing has changed from extensive to intensive, but this transformation has been associated with major concerns. The concentration of large amounts of pig manure in small arrears is environmentally hazardous. Moreover, high densities of animals in intensive production systems also impose a health threat for both animals and humans. Furthermore, the use of growth promoters and preventive medicines for higher production efficiencies, such as in-feed antibiotics, also induces microbial resistance thus affects human therapeutics. In addition, consumers are questioning the ethics of treating animals in intensive production systems. Animal welfare, environmental and bio-safe issues are re-shaping the nature of pig production systems. Feeding pigs thus involves not only the consideration of economic traits, but also welfare traits and environmental traits. Thus, a focus on technological feasibility, environmental sustainability and social desirability is essential for successful feeding operations. Feeding pigs now involves multiple projects with different sustainability goals, but goal conflicts exist since no pattern or scenario can fulfill all sustainability goals and the disagreements are complicated by reduced or even no use of in-feed antibiotics. Thus it is difficult to feed pigs in a manner that meets all goals of high quality, safe product, eco- and bio-sustainability, animal welfare and profit. A sustainable pig production system thus requires a prioritization of goals based on understanding among consumers, society and producers and needs to view from both a local and global perspective.
