Presentation
The course provides an overview on the topic of CSR in fashion.
Fashion (apparel and accessories) is one of the largest industries in the world. Unfortunately it is also the second most polluting industry after oil, an industry that has many negative social impacts along the value chain. The need of a more sus-tainable fashion, across all its segments including fashion luxury, is linked to both supply and demand drivers:
• SUPPLY - In the last years, many large companies have been setting CSR strategies with dedicated departments and many start-ups were created having sus-tainability in their DNA;
• DEMAND - The number of LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) consumers (i.e. consumers that are taking buying decisions based on aesthetics + ethics) is growing in time.
The analysis of different business practices aims at providing useful food for thoughts to consumers and managers that are willing to face the responsibility challenge in the luxury sector.
