Based on our analysis and our empirical results, we propose several measures aimed at increasing the level of technical and technological development.

Enhancing sustainability in the contemporary model of CSR: a case of fast fashion industry in developing countries

“…Similar to CSR, the concept of sustainability has also been analysed in many academic studies at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. At the microscopic level, corporate sustainability (CS) is viewed as a new management paradigm that recognises corporate growth and profitability, but at the same time, it requires corporations to pursue non-profitable, social goals, specifically those relating to the issues of sustainability, such as natural environmental protection, social justice and equity, social welfare and community’s development (Tien et al , 2019a; Dudzevičiūtė, 2012; Priess et al , 2017; Volchik and Maslyukova, 2017; Teletov et al , 2017; Tien and Chi, 2018; Korauš et al , 2017; Bendaravičienė, 2017).…”
