What is Sustainability in Ethiopian Textile and Apparel Supply Chains about?

Purpose or objective: Due to savings in raw material and labour costs, the manufacturing stages of textile and apparel (T&A) supply chains (SCs) migrate from developed countries to developing countries or emerging economies such as Ethiopia. Over the last few years, the Federal Government of Ethiopia has focused on expanding strategic priority sectors, including the T&A manufacturing industries. Sustainability issues such as the economic wellbeing of workers or environmental and social aspects require critical assessment. We provide an overall description of the T&A SC, introduce the textile industry in Ethiopia and its embedding in the global textile SCs and pinpoint sustainability issues in each stage of the SC in Ethiopia. Approach or methodology used: Secondary data is gathered from scientific literature, government reports and websites of T&A companies. Facts and figures are summarized and analysed carefully to develop this chapter. Key findings: The chapter provides an exploratory study of sustainability in Ethiopian T&A SCs and contributes to research and application of sustainable supply chain management. A SWOT analysis outlines possible trends and related development fact
