| dc.description.abstract | Corruption is widespread in developing countries, not because the culture of the people is different around the world, but because the conditions are conducive to it. The motivation of people in developing countries to earn income is relatively stronger, exacerbated by poverty, unemployment, and low wages. Political competition and civil liberties are often limited. Laws and ethical principles in public and private administration are underdeveloped and poorly prepared. The fast-fashion industry is at a crossroads where profitability meets the growing demand for transparency and social responsibility. This study analyzes data derived from fiscal transparency reports of 153 organizations from the Fashion Transparency Index, shedding light on the initial stages of the research about legitimacy disclosure information from 21 countries and the degree of freedom in these 21 countries. This research focuses on the information disclosed by fast-fashion companies and carries out a critical analysis to determine which of the Economic, Social, and Environmental pillars is most important on CSR reports, looking at the impact that civil liberties can have on organizations. The findings support that fast-fashion companies engage in disclosure practices to legitimize their operations and respond to the pressures of global freedom movements and tactics. However, these practices may not always reflect complete transparency and realism. This study highlights the importance of civil liberties in promoting CSR disclosure and sheds light on the theoretical and practical implications of this relationship for society, business, and government. By elucidating how fast-fashion companies leverage legitimacy and respond to social movements in their disclosure practices, this research aims to make a meaningful contribution to the broader discourse on corporate transparency, sustainability, and responsibility. | pt_PT |
