Purpose

This impact pathways paper proposes that operations and supply chain management (OSCM) can help to ensure that the transition from a high-carbon to low-carbon fashion industry takes place in a just, inclusive and fair way. By immersion in fashion brands, suppliers and workers' realities across multiple supply chains, the authors identify challenges and issues related to just transitions, whilst proposing research pathways to inspire future OSCM research and collaboration using innovative and creative methods to answer complex questions related to just transition.

Design/methodology/approach

The research the authors introduce used a multi-level field research approach to investigate multiple fashion supply chains in transition.

Findings

The authors uncovered that in the pursuit of lowering carbon emissions, fast-fashion giants work with industrial associations to create top-down governance tools, leading to severe problems in supply chain data and paradoxical demands. These demands are cascaded onto the workers in these supply chains. The goals and tools dictated by the fashion giants exclude workers, whilst the physiological and psychological effects on the workers are routinely ignored. These issues impede a just transition to a low-carbon fashion industry.

Originality/value

The authors introduce concepts largely missing from OSCM literature and ensure representation of the most marginalised group, supply chain workers, in a novel setting in a call for research in this emerging area.

影响途径：时尚运营和供应链管理的转型

目的

这份影响路径文件提出，运营和供应链管理 (OSCM) 有助于确保时尚行业以公正、包容和公平的方式从高碳向低碳转型。通过深入研究跨多个供应链的时尚品牌、供应商和工人的现实，作者确定了与公正转型相关的挑战和问题，同时提出了研究途径，以启发未来的 OSCM 研究和合作，使用创新和创造性的方法来回答与公正转型相关的复杂问题。过渡。

设计/方法论/途径

作者介绍的研究采用多层次的实地研究方法来调查转型中的多个时尚供应链。

发现

作者发现，为了降低碳排放，快时尚巨头与行业协会合作创建自上而下的治理工具，导致供应链数据和矛盾需求出现严重问题。这些需求被级联到这些供应链中的工人身上。时尚巨头规定的目标和工具将工人排除在外，而对工人的生理和心理影响通常被忽视。这些问题阻碍了向低碳时尚产业的公正转型。

原创性/价值

作者介绍了 OSCM 文献中很大程度上缺失的概念，并确保在新颖的环境中代表最边缘化的群体（供应链工人），呼吁在这一新兴领域进行研究。
