About

In this online Sustainable Sourcing for Fashion course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) you will learn the systems and management practices needed to foster truly sustainable fashion brands.

Overview

Sustainable fashion is a fast-growing trend and this is an exciting time for brands and retailers. However, if not carefully managed, sustainability can become just a trend without a real benefit in terms of reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry.

Managing sustainability depends on information systems throughout the sourcing process, and cannot be verified by lab-based testing. The complex nature of the supply chain in the fashion industry makes traceability even more difficult. Therefore, it is very important to follow a due diligence process and authenticate any sustainability claims that go on your products.

How you will learn

On this Sustainable Sourcing for Fashion course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) we will meet for weekly live sessions in the online classroom, for presentations and discussion with your tutor. Then you will apply what you have learned by completing hands-on assignments, and receiving feedback from your tutor.
