Abstract

Improving sustainability in transportation has been one of the major focus areas in recent years for many globalized manufacturing industries, including fashion. This chapter discusses key questions and challenges for various methods of transportation that are shaping current trends and which require reflection in the fashion industry. This chapter employs the approach of “Avoid–Shift–Improve” in transportation management recommended by the United Nations Secretary-General’s High-Level Advisory Group on Sustainable Transport. In this chapter, the authors have examined various methods of transportation that are shaping current trends, including sustainable modes such as centralization distribution and full truck load and shifting transport to improve trip efficiency and environmental outcomes. The chapter provides potential benefits of incorporating the sustainable transport and logistics systems of narrowing, slowing and closing resource loops into fashion industry business models.
