The current study aims to investigate the relationships between sustainability and the textile–clothing–leather–footwear (TCLF) industries in four countries, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The quantitative approach involved using the linear regression model for data from 2010 to 2020 related to three independent variables of TCLF configurations and six dependent variables of sustainability. Our findings show significant positive relationships between the trade balance values of agricultural raw materials (TB of ARM), footwear (TB of FOOT), and textiles and clothing (TB of TEXT), which were recognized as the key variables of the TCLF industries with overall sustainability and an emerging circular economy in the study areas. Among the four countries, the strongest correlations between TCLF industries and sustainability belonged to Italy. The novelty of this research lies in identifying the relevant variables from the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) and Eurostat databases to evaluate the TCLF industries–sustainability relationships at the country level.

可持续发展与纺织-服装-皮革-鞋类行业之间关系的国家级分析


本研究旨在调查法国、德国、意大利和西班牙四个国家的可持续发展与纺织服装皮革鞋类 (TCLF) 行业之间的关系。定量方法涉及对 2010 年至 2020 年与 TCLF 配置的三个自变量和可持续性的六个因变量相关的数据使用线性回归模型。我们的研究结果表明，农业原材料（ARM 的 TB）、鞋类（FOOT 的 TB）和纺织品和服装（TEXT 的 TB）的贸易平衡值之间存在显着的正相关关系，这被认为是 TCLF 行业的关键变量。研究领域的整体可持续性和新兴循环经济。在这四个国家中，TCLF 产业与可持续发展之间的相关性最强的是意大利。这项研究的新颖之处在于从世界综合贸易解决方案（WITS）和欧盟统计局数据库中确定相关变量，以评估国家层面的 TCLF 产业与可持续性关系。
