Particularly, the Indonesian textile industry significantly contributes to the country’s economic growth by being one of the priority sectors in export commodities of Indonesia and absorbing labours with about a quarter of the total workers in the manufacturing industries. Unfortunately, the achievements in the economic terms are disproportional to the industry’s performance in terms of environmental and social aspects. Crucial issues on the environmental side, such as water pollution and emissions, and on the social side, including labour exploitation and social responsibility within textile supply chains, have been lingering. With the rapid demands from stakeholders for textile companies to take more responsibility and be more sustainable in their production, the companies have invested in standard certifications, while gaining a better public image, expanding their market access, and strengthening their existence.</p> <p>This research aims to understand the extent of standard contribution towards addressing sustainability in textile and textile product industries in Indonesia. In particular, this study investigates the current sustainability issues in the Indonesian textile sector and scrutinizes the relevance of the content of existing standards in relation to sustainability issues in the industries, as well as examining the economic, environmental, and social impacts of standard implementation by textile companies in dealing with sustainability issues.</p> Dewey 301 Master of Standardization, Social Regulation and Sustainable Development 122 Département de sociologie T4 197 Institut de recherches sociologiques TG false dfc16941-1cd2-415c-a207-589d58976777 Master thesis Public Final submission_Putri Irvanna_Mast.pdf 4989298 application/pdf 399c723fa63f55d363ea30619b606b5d3a8fb766b8204fc37c9b1e3fda5db342 openAccess Faculté des sciences de la société / Département de sociologie Faculté des sciences de la société / Institut de recherches sociologiques
