  • Sustainability 4.0 in the Fashion Industry: a Systematic Literature Review   Order a copy of this article
    by Marcella Fernanda Vieira Ottoni Bezerra Da Silva, Fagner José Coutinho De Melo 
    Abstract: This paper aims to identify the factors that affect Sustainability 4.0 in the fashion industry through a systematic literature review (RSL). To carry out the RSL, the Web of Science and Scopus databases were used, with a time limit between the years 2017 and 2022. The RSL identified 26 papers considered a relevant contribution to the construction of knowledge about the researched topic. From these papers, 46 factors were listed that affect Sustainability 4.0 in the fashion industry, based on the dimensions established by the triple bottom line (TBL) theory, with 19 factors linked to the economic dimension, 12 to the social dimension and 15 to the environmental dimension. The paper concludes that a synergistic relationship was observed between the listed factors and the subject studied. Thus, this article offers a new contribution to the literature, providing data for different audiences, leading them to sustainable and technological development.
