Working in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within the fashion and creative industries involves making sure a brand operates ethically, sustainably, and with a positive impact on people and the planet. Professionals in this field help develop and manage strategies that reduce environmental harm, improve social conditions across supply chains, and promote transparency. They often work on ethical trading audits, sustainable packaging, data analysis, and clear communication of a brand’s values and actions.
As the fashion industry responds to environmental challenges and changing consumer expectations, roles in CSR are rapidly growing. Sustainability officers and CSR professionals play a key role in guiding brands toward circular economy models, supporting second-hand and low-impact fashion, and innovating with recyclable materials. With strong communication, analytical, and environmental knowledge, those in CSR can influence how fashion evolves and move into roles such as sustainability consultant or Head of Sustainability.
