Abstract

This paper examines CSR in fashion supply chains by applying a multi-methodological approach. We first investigate the CSR performance and consumer expectation towards luxury, fast fashion and functional brands through a case study and semi-structure interviews. Then, by building a stylized analytical model, we uncover that it is optimal for the higher-priced fast fashion and functional brands to commit a high CSR commitment with a low advertisement level while the luxury brands should act oppositely. To entice the luxury fashion brand to create a CSR-improving situation, we propose the use of disruptive technologies such as blockchain to help.
