Learn about the environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics essential for fashion professionals in this two day short course. You’ll be given advice and useful resources that can be implemented into your everyday work.
You’ll be supported by a knowledgeable, friendly team with many years experience of leading responsible practices in the fashion industry.

“Fashion professionals across all departments are increasingly being asked to take on new responsibilities for ESG, CSR or sustainability with little knowledge or experience - a daunting and potentially risky prospect. This course is designed to fill those knowledge gaps and provide the practical know-how to help you confidently deliver the ESG requirements of your day job."
