Abstract

The transition to achieving more sustainable business and sustainable development requires radical changes not only as far as government policies are concerned, but also to the systems of governance. What are the different levels of governance and their possibilities to steer the present developments? What are the schemes that public and private governance can use as tools for steering the development? This chapter describes how the different levels interact and what proactive governance means from the social sustainability perspective. In the global context, new mechanisms are available of proactive governance with the aim of promoting and achieving social sustainability. Textile industry being an energy and carbon intensive sector of industry and currently the subject of numerous environmental policy measures, and therefore, on the agenda of a number of actors both public and private serves as the context in this chapter.
