Motivated by United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the importance of sustainability, this study examines how the textile and apparel (TA) supply chains can comply with the SDGs. By examining the literature as well as industrial practices, we show that the current sustainable operations in TA industry are far away from realizing the goals of economic growth going hand-in-hand with the social and environmental sustainability. For instance, among the SDGs, the goals of “Responsible Consumption and Production”, “Clean Water and Sanitation”, and “Climate Action” receive a considerable amount of attention, while goals of “No Poverty”, “Reduced Inequalities”, “Life below Water” and “Life on Land” have the least attention. Balanced sustainable development actions from the stakeholders’ perspective are proposed. Managerial implications and future studies are discussed.

出于联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）和可持续发展的重要性的推动，本研究研究了纺织品和服装（TA）供应链如何符合SDG。通过研究文献和工业实践，我们表明，技术援助行业当前的可持续运营离实现与社会和环境可持续性齐头并进的经济增长目标相距甚远。例如，在可持续发展目标中，“负责任的消费和生产”，“清洁水和卫生设施”和“气候行动”的目标得到了相当多的关注，而“无贫困”，“减少不平等”，“水下生活”和“陆上生活”受到的关注最少。从利益相关者的角度提出了平衡的可持续发展行动。讨论了管理意义和未来研究。
