Abstract: Throughout this article, the Sustainable Development Goal twelve: Responsible Consumption And Production is related to the textile sector. A critical analysis is made of this correlation, using qualitative analysis techniques to identify and select relevant studies, research, and sources from various academic databases, government entities, and international organizations. The context is established by giving a description of this sustainable development goal, the textile sector is discussed where the countries that produce and export the most products from the textile industry are mentioned. The analysis of the relationship between these two, mainly focused on environmental impact. It is concluded that the sector in question has a fairly significant negative environmental impact, and that it is important to confront these negative impacts by implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is crucial to take immediate measures to counteract this situation, as it affects the world in general.
