Abstract

Environmental problems have posed serious threats to society. Given the enormous environmental footprints created by the fashion industry, fashion companies have developed strategic plans to achieve sustainability goals. While using biodegradable or recycled materials helps the environment, this article contends that the major environmental problems are caused by inaccurate demand forecasting and excess production. It discusses the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving demand prediction and supply chain performance using Bestseller India and IBM’s AI products as examples.
