2Business ManagementIntroductionIt was a great and interesting experience to work with the world-renowned textile industry and toobserve the change while working for them. The company in which I worked for was changed tobecome the more diversified and sustainable business concern from a completely traditionaltextile business. Many employees, including the top managers in the company, were more awareof the technology taking roles of the employees and causing unemployment. However, mostwere not aware of business becoming greener and more valuable for the society so, at first manywere a bit reluctant to accept this change and to become more environmentalist as they confusedwith unemployment. They were also angry and frustrated to see a change in management andprocesses. Although the company had the policy of rewarding greener employees, it was never acompulsion for the company to fire those people who were not environmentalists.As soon as people started getting training related to sustainability and to adopting sustainablepractices, water conservation and other training related to sustainable textiles, they started beingmore flexible in their approach. They began to accept the changing management structure.Eventually, after the gap of a one or so after the sustainable breakthrough within the organisationpeople ended up accepting the new beginnings within the organisation as company unit had theambition to be the best when it came to be the most sustainable company in this world. Iobserved the Kubler Ross model applied during this changing process.By Theory E and Theory O postulates, the stakeholders and shareholders understood the needof the system, which could address the economic value and organisational capabilities in adiligent way. Consultants were hired in the factory who gave experts advises the management
3Business Managementteam to adopt sustainable business practices in the company from its manufacturing to retaillevel. An incentive system was reinforced to bring a value-added change in the company.What was the guiding force behind the change?There is a significant effect of the textile industry on the environment. The raw materials that thetextile firms use to produce fabrics require a huge quantity of water. Again, in order to protectthe plants producing the raw materials like cotton, herbicides and pesticides are used which arehighly dangerous for the environment. Another row material that the textile company needs touse is Manufacturingrayon (Chyan, 2018). It is an alternative fabric that is made of wood pulp,and by reckless use of this raw material, a significant loss of several old-growth forests havebeen increasing. In addition, several harmful chemicals are used in order to treat those pulpswhich are released into the environment, causing a severe effect on it. In the other hand, thesynthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon, nylon and polyester are responsible for creatinggreenhouse gasses that are severely harmful to the air that people breathe along with that, thosematerials are not at all biodegradable (Chyan, 2018). However, these environmental effects canaffect the reputation of this textile company. In order to address sustainable business growth, it ishighly necessary to minimise the environmental effects caused by this textile company. Thegrowing concern among people for the environment might not accept that huge environmentaleffect caused by the textile organisations (Toprak& Anis, 2017). This may affect the companyreputation in the market. Therefore, taking initiatives in order to mitigate those effects isessential for both the growth of the company as well as the growth of the individual employees.Sustainable actives are commercially profitable for a company. As per the organisational growthand benefits is concerned in the long run, it carries great importance.
