Module 6: Corporate Social Responsibility in the fashion industry

The objective of the “Corporate Social Responsibility in the fashion industry” module is to introduce the learners to the concept of accountability of a company towards its community. The main paradigm used to refer to this responsibility is Corporate Social Responsibility, for which we will review the main principles that should apply to the fashion business. Then, we will approach some other key concepts related to CSR, which are the idea of business ethics, the economy of the Common Good, and the Environmental, Social and Governance which propose a new way of engaging with the CSR in the company.

By completing this module, the learner will develop knowledge about the Corporate Social Responsibility of a company and will have the ability to place that knowledge in a business context to integrate those sustainable and social elements in a company.
