Technological advancements in the textile industry, such as automation, digital tools, and sustainable processes, aim to enhance operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. However, firms face significant challenges, including high costs, workforce skill gaps, and integration difficulties, which can delay technological adoption and hinder competitiveness. The industry also grapples with social and environmental issues, including high consumption of materials, water, and energy, and its role as a major polluter, discharging harmful effluents and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. The rise of fast fashion has worsened waste management, with mixed fibers being difficult to recycle. Growing pressure from social, political, and legislative bodies urges textile firms to adopt sustainable practices to combat environmental degradation. Despite these challenges, research of sustainable supply chain practices needs more exploration on new dimension of determinants. Hence, the aim of this study is to conceptually review the influence of technological adaptation and corporate spirituality in leaders on sustainable supply chains in the textile sector. Drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and spiritual leadership theories, this study qualitatively done by interviewing 11 textile companies listed in BGMEA (Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association) supplier list. These ‘machine-human’ factors are seen as enablers of supply chain sustainability. The paper aims to offer insights for supply chain professionals and policymakers on how these determinants support long-term success and align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
