All dressed up? Social Responsibility in the Global Fashion Industry
On June 24th 2014, the second MIBAS debate on CSR took place at the Gästehaus of the University of Hamburg. Our guest Anny Cardinahl, Head of Category Management at Globetrotter Ausrüstung GmbH, and the audience discussed topics of social compliance and responsibility along the apparel value chain. Enlightening statements and interesting questions created an educational and enjoyable atmosphere. Mrs. Cardinahl provided a very authentic and open mind to explain Globetrotter’s goals as well as the challenges they face in the pursuit of its corporate responsibility strategy. Examples of key issues that were discussed included topics about living wages and the future steps which will be taken in developing Globetrotter’s producers. Overall it was a lively discussion and great evening that left behind a positive impression of the topic.
