  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>During the last years competition in the textile sector has increased, putting financial returns under considerable pressure. As a result, production has shifted to low wage countries in the third world. This has raised the relevance of ethical procedures. This paper analyses how C&amp;A, as one of the largest Western apparel companies, organises its sourcing ethics, notwithstanding the financial pressure in the market. Based on interviews with Asian suppliers of C&amp;A during the second half of 2000, we review the opinions of external stakeholders about the sourcing ethics of C&amp;A. Finally, we evaluate C&amp;A’s sourcing ethics from a theoretical perspective.</jats:p>
