Into the revolution of Industry 5.0 in ensuring ethical fashionIslam, Md. Nahid-Ull- (Avtor) Hasan, Shah Md. Maruf (Avtor) Industry 5.0ethical fashionsustainabilitytransparencyThe global fashion industry faces numerous ethical concerns. The Global South, in particular, suffers from unethical practices in the fashion industry due to the complexity of the supply chain and the lack of regulations governing workers’ welfare. Additionally, the rapid growth of the fashion industry has also caused a negative impact on the environment. Ethical fashion prioritizes transparency, accountability and the well-being of workers, while ensuring environmental and social sustainability. This study suggests Industry 5.0 as a suitable approach to ensure ethical fashion due to its focus on human centricity. Industry 5.0 values human well-being with a synergy of technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital twin and energy-efficient automation. The proper implementation of Industry 5.0 in the fashion industry can promote ethical fashion practices by ensuring fair labour practices, transparency and accountability, by and minimizing environmental impacts. Through an in-depth review of literature regarding Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 and ethical fashion, this study develops a framework for ethical fashion. A logical, human-centred framework for Industry 5.0 in the context of ethical fashion is produced by searching peer-reviewed literature for specific keywords, applying inclusion criteria and thematically analysing the content to extract significant concepts, technologies and ethical issues. This study also highlights the challenges of integrating Industry 5.0 with ethical fashion, such as building the skills of labourers, the consideration of socio-centricity and policy changes due to the emergence of Industry 5.0.20252025-12-24 10:45:18Članek v reviji177574UDK: 677:658.8ISSN pri članku: 0351-3386DOI: 10.14502/tekstilec.68.2025057COBISS_ID: 262445059sl
