This article presents the results of the benchmarking exercise carried out between Sustainability and meeting the 2050 zero-net commitment of the Paris Agreement resonate across industries. The aim of this paper is to try to predict how the circularity trend can affect the fashion industry in the near future. The research and consumer attitudes survey give a data-based foundation for understanding how fashion brands can approach incorporating the principles of circular fashion into their daily operations. Examples of fashion companies are examined to show the possible discrepancy between declarations and actions. Currently, less than a third of consumers indicate circularity as a sufficient reason for making a fashion purchase. Recognition of sustainable terms and certificates is not common among consumers - only a few respondents claim that they could name a fashion-related certificate. Simultaneously, the majority believe that it is the unions of countries that should issue trusted circularity certificates. Most respondents believe that IT and technology could boost sustainability in the fashion industry. There is no single universal guideline in order to be certified and perceived as a circular brand. The paper provides insight into the need for awareness-raising activities and new legislation. The collected results show that the circular approach in the fashion industry is still in its early stages.

The concept of design management has appeared in the literature on the subject relatively recently. It falls within the scope of innovative enterprise management processes, having a very significant impact on enterprise functioning and development, as confirmed by the results of an empirical study conducted on a representative sample of Polish enterprises. These results constitute a new contribution of knowledge to the theory and practice of enterprise functioning in Central and Eastern Europe and provide a new perspective on the factors affecting enterprise development. The results of the study carried out take into account not only the quantitative factors, but also the impact of the qualitative factors that can define those enterprises’ competitive advantage. The purpose of the article is to present new knowledge on the functioning of enterprises using design management, and to identify factors determining their condition and survival in the era of environmental change. It should also contribute to further discussion and research on the evolution and development of design management processes.

With the emergence of new communication channels, people have changed the way they communicate with public institutions. Consulates in this sense have been affected and have had to adapt to the needs of citizens. This project attempts to analyze the digital services offered by the Consulates General of the Republic of Poland and Italy in Barcelona using benchmarking as a comparative tool. The aim of this study is to detect the gaps between the two consulates and develop a proposal to improve these services.

The article touches on issues related to rare events occurring or likely to occur in an organization, with the search for simple solutions to achieve the goals set. It turns out that in order for the title domino effect, concerning the issue of incommensurability of the force applied to the end results, to occur, certain conditions, factors, circumstances must appear. It would be naive to think otherwise. The text is an attempt to integrate, approaches, models and solutions described in the literature.

A corporation can enhance its business process through a variety of approaches and methodologies. One of them is benchmarking, which businesses are using more and more as a tool to raise the calibre of their goods, services, or procedures. The article's goal is to demonstrate how benchmarking may be used to enhance an insurance company's business operations. The Fabrega Soler, S.C. Asesores de Seguros and Galan Rodriguez Servisegur, S.L. companies are the work's subject. Has been selected as a partner company, representing both Generali Seguros in Spain. The findings of the conducted benchmarking reveal major differences between the two companies studied, allowing for the development of a strategy to enhance the company Fabrega's commercial process.
