META-CONCEPT OF ENABLING PLATFORM FOR REMOTE WORK IN THE FASHION SECTOR IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

This article explores enabling platforms for remote work in the fashion industry to promote sustainability, considering the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased number of people adapting to remote work. The research team developed a meta-scenario for an enabling platform based on the Design Science Research method. The meta-scenario developed aimed to encourage remote work of artisans from Rio do Sul (SC) in association with the company Proposta Verde which specializes in fashion accessories production. The enabling platform goal was to use the company’s production waste and value local knowledge. Through the development of the meta-scenario, it was possible to conclude that enabling platforms aimed at remote work aligned with sustainability principles can be a tool to allow a more advantageous form of remote work for the fashion sector.
