Social responsibility in general can be divided in 2 parts: Human Responsibility and Environmental Responsibility. The best known examples are not using child labour, adapting to various health standards in the working environment, reducing emissions and keeping up to the ecological footprint.
All the above mentioned social behaviours can be transferred on the textile and clothing industry.
Child labour still is a very big issue in this branch, because a lot of companies produce their goods in developing countries and there often aren’t enough official inspections and supervision institutions and if there are, they probably are corrupt. Health standards are often neglected because of shortage of money or insufficient observation. These standards are often disregarded from the company’s management, but on the other hand not asked for by their employees, because they either don’t know what their rights are, or they’re threatened by losing their job and as a consequence often their livelihood.
The ecological footprint is a measure to the extent of human damage to the ecosystems of our planet. It focuses on the natural ability to regenerate and the amount of biologically productive land and sea that is necessary to nourish the actual population. However the human race has been living beyond its means over the last years. The ecological footprint shows how much food we need on the one hand but also how much damage we cause with industrial and chemical waste (often produced by the textile industry).
It is important to keep the ecological footprint at a minimum, because we are not only destroying and exploiting our actual environment, but we damage it for all the following generations.
