ABSTRACT
This paper explores the role of multiple stakeholder-driven factors in promoting sustainable
technology application in fashion manufacturing enterprises from the perspective of stakeholder
theory and analyzes the impact of sustainable technology application on environmental, financial, and
competitive performance. Through empirical analysis of survey data from 350 fashion manufacturing
enterprises in Quanzhou City, the results reveal that customer pressure, management support, policy
support, and competitive pressure significantly and positively influence sustainable technology
application in enterprises, while the influence of regulatory pressure is not significant. Furthermore,
sustainable technology application has a significant positive impact on the environmental, financial, and
competitive performance of enterprises. The research findings provide theoretical insights for successful
deployment and implementation of sustainable technology applications in fashion manufacturing
enterprises, as well as for government optimization and adjustment of supportive policies.
