College of Textiles at NC State University Sustainability Survey
The College of Textiles at NC State University is conducting research to study indicators associated with sustainable products. Your participation in this study is voluntary and any data that you provide will be held in the strictest confidence where the identity of yourself or your company will not be associated with any data elements in my Master's Thesis or subsequent presentations or publications.
The goal of this research is to determine sustainability indicators which may form the basis of textile and apparel products and firms being promoted and marketed as sustainable. You are being contacted because of your standing in the field of sustainability and the survey should take approximately 15 minutes of your time. Your input by Friday, February 18th, will help prioritize sustainable indicators in order to define a practical approach for sustainable development.
