. In this article, we analyzed how a company's level of transparency and overall sustainability can improve the financial results of firms in the fashion industry. It is important to explore the contribution of corporate sustainability for a set of companies that vary in location, production niche, market capitalization, brand policy, etc. A total of 63 companies were analyzed using econometric panel data analysis methods: during the 3 years of the study, financial results were measured as annual net profit, and sustainability was assessed using transparency and sustainability indices, which are discussed in detail below. We obtained a negative relationship between transparency and profit levels, as well as a positive relationship between sustainability and financial performance of firms. These results are preliminary and require further study, as during the testing process we encountered both unexplained factors affecting profits, as well as problems related to the selection of our sample, sustainability indicators, and traditional performance measures. The results of this work show a possible direction of corporate development.
