value chains. At the same time, the objective of this article is to analyze different
sustainability strategies that can be implemented by textile companies in Norte de Santander.
The type of research used was a systematic review, in order to synthesize the evidence and
serve as a useful tool for decision making. The results obtained reveal initiatives that can be
taken by the textile companies of the department. The transformation of the linear economy
model to a circular one, the change in the composition of garments and the use of renewable
energy sources are proposed as a response mechanism to global trends such as the use of
ecological materials and the implementation of environmentally friendly practices. In

balanced development is promoted that not only protects the environment, but also
guarantees economic viability and social welfare in the long term.
