Abstract
ABSTRACT In recent years, Metaverse has become one of the most popular buzzwords in digital transformation and marketing. The concept of the metaverse refers to a new paradigm for how we use and interact with digital technologies within an immersive virtual environment. Digital sustainability relates to the use of digital tools to communicate sustainability and promote sustainable behaviours. This conceptual paper explores the concept of digital sustainability and investigates metaverse marketing practices within the realm of digital sustainability, specifically the use of the metaverse as a communication channel to communicate sustainability in fashion in an appealing and consistent way. The study contributes to the expanding body of research on the intersection of fashion and sustainability – more specifically digital sustainability – with a specific focus on the potential challenges and opportunities that the metaverse could bring, offering valuable managerial insights for fashion brands and an agenda for future research.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Electronic Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of electronic materials. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials science, engineering, optics, physics, and chemistry into important applications of electronic materials. Sample research topics that span the journal's scope are inorganic, organic, ionic and polymeric materials with properties that include conducting, semiconducting, superconducting, insulating, dielectric, magnetic, optoelectronic, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and thermoelectric.
