Abstract:

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained special importance in recent years. As well as being widely discussed by researchers, the business community is increasingly recognising it as a factor affecting the competitiveness of companies, which, if absent, can practically disable their long-term functioning. Although CSR is a challenge for all industries today, only a few sectors feel the pressure exerted by consumers, the media and NGOs to implement socially responsible business standards as strongly as the textile and clothing industry does. In order to identify the significance of standardisation and labelling for textile and clothing goods differentiation in the globalising and increasingly saturated markets, this article reviews and analyses major international, national and Community initiatives in this area, as well as investigations of buyers’ behaviour.
