Textile, apparel, and fashion (TAF) industries contribute significantly to global environmental pollution at every point of the supply chain. Clothing manufacturing and transportation produce a large volume of waste and high greenhouse gas emissions, often taking advantage of cheap labor in developing countries. As a result, stakeholders are becoming more aware of the effect of the textile, apparel, and fashion industries on the climate and human rights, thus pushing businesses to mitigate their environmental damage. This paper offers a systematic literature review of sustainability trends in the TAF industries in the last 20 years. Bibliometric tools are also used to support the content analysis of the papers. The findings reveal three primary research areas in the TAF context: consumers' behaviour towards sustainable clothing, circular economy initiatives, and sustainability challenges across the whole supply chain. As a result, this study highlights literature gaps and provides future research suggestions for each identified research cluster. In addition, drivers and barriers to implementing corporate social responsibility and circular economy practices are identified. Consequently, this study will help researchers and academicians work in this area to identify unexplored sub-fields, which reflect some potential investigation areas for expanding scientific literature on the topic. Finally, this study supports practitioners and managers in exploring the main research themes addressed in the scientific field, providing knowledge to improve and align business models with current sustainability trends.
纺织、服装和时尚（TAF）行业在供应链的各个环节都对全球环境污染有重大影响。服装制造和运输产生大量废物和高温室气体排放，且常常利用发展中国家的廉价劳动力。因此，利益相关者越来越意识到纺织、服装和时尚行业对气候和人权的影响，从而促使企业减轻其对环境的破坏。本文对过去20年TAF行业的可持续发展趋势进行了系统的文献综述。还使用了文献计量工具来支持对论文的内容分析。研究结果揭示了TAF背景下的三个主要研究领域：消费者对可持续服装的行为、循环经济倡议以及整个供应链中的可持续发展挑战。因此，本研究突出了文献空白，并为每个确定的研究集群提供了未来的研究建议。此外，还确定了实施企业社会责任和循环经济实践的驱动因素和障碍。因此，本研究将帮助该领域的研究人员和学者识别未探索的子领域，这些子领域反映了一些扩展该主题科学文献的潜在研究领域。最后，本研究支持从业者和管理人员探索科学领域中涉及的主要研究主题，提供知识以改进商业模式并使其与当前的可持续发展趋势保持一致。
