It is conflating the two. For example, the paragraph starting with:
> This phenomenon is not limited to the clothing industry. The UK organic groceries market has been expanding steadily for the past eight years.
Without any explanation given of how this relates to sustainability, they imply that the relationship between organic and sustainable is obvious. That looks like conflation to me.

Further, it calls this practice “secret sustainability” and the article itself encloses it in quotes indicating it’s using this term out of convenience, and that it’s not actually a precise term. The use of quotes around secret sustainability is the article explicitly pointing out that it does not consider this an accurate term, and is using it extremely loosely.
