Resumo(s)
Sustainability awareness has increased worldwide, but implementation is faltering. The
objective of the study is to find out if nearshoring is being used by textile companies to
improve their sustainability performance. Moreover, the study aims at understanding the
willingness of customers to pay more for nearshored products. To gain better insights four
expert interviews were conducted and a questionnaire was filled out by 203 people. Findings
resulting from the research indicate that nearshoring has no clear influence on sustainability
performance. Furthermore, even customers who are aware of sustainability are not willing to
spend significantly more for a sustainably produced T-shirt.
