Résumé
Since its founding in 1949, Emmaüs has helped people experiencing homelessness, financial difficulty, and/or seeking professional reintegration. Part A discusses major issues in the fashion and textile industries, such as water consumption and the release of microplastics, and proposes the circular economy as a possible solution. Label Emmaüs is presented as an example of a company committed to the social and solidarity economy (SSE) that incorporates the circular economy into its business model. Part B discusses the current controversy surrounding Emmaüs and its impact on the organization's value proposition.
