Motivated by United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the importance of sustainability, this study examines how the textile and apparel (TA) supply chains can comply with the SDGs. By examining the literature as well as industrial practices, we show that the current sustainable operations in TA industry are far away from realizing the goals of economic growth going hand-in-hand with the social and environmental sustainability. For instance, among the SDGs, the goals of Responsible Consumption and Production, Clean Water and Sanitation, and Climate Action receive a considerable amount of attention, while goals of No Poverty, Reduced Inequalities, Life below Water and Life on Land have the least attention. Balanced sustainable development actions from the stakeholders' perspective are proposed. Managerial implications and future studies are discussed.
