Abstract
The chapter shows the results of an empirical research conducted with six production centres and two industrial districts of the Made in Italy supply chains in the Campania region, namely the food, the fashion (textile, footwear, tannery) and the jewellery sectors. The research objective was to examine the state of the districts’ sustainability policies consistent with the ISO 26000 guidelines, the network project procedures, the underlying reasons and achieved results for the internal and external stakeholders. It also highlights the major role of public policy and local institutions for the implementation of sustainability projects in both production centres and industrial districts.
