dc.description.abstractAbstract Textile processes are resource intensive and lack transparency in quantifying the environmental impacts of processes. Business process modeling enables process visualization and analysis, yet less is known about its success in textiles. This thesis investigates the capabilities of business process modeling to obtain sustainability scoring of the textile fabrics to bridge the gap found in the literature. The qualitative research methodology was applied to acknowledge the concept of Life Cycle Assessment and Green Business Process Management to explore which methods can support process analysis. The concepts were illustrated by performing process modeling and calculating sustainability scoring of four types of fabric finishing processes for a Berlin-based fabric retailer using ADONIS. The study claims that Green Business Process Management and Life Cycle Assessment compliments business process modeling to yield transparent sustainability scoring. Further research is recommended in this discipline to analyze the sustainability scoring across the textile supply chainches Keywords: Business process modelling, textile fabrics sustainability, sustainability scoring, green BPM, life cycle assessment, process-based analysisen
