Welcome to CSRtextile.com
CSRtextile.com is an on-line magazine published by MCL Global, which is dedicated to promoting the move towards a more ethical and socially responsible global clothing supply chain.
This new web-site will provide readers with a wide range of exclusive news and features on corporate social responsibility (CSR) within the textile and garment industries right through the garment supply chain.
CSRtextile.com expects that textiles and garments should be manufactured, produced and handled in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner whilst balancing the interests of diverse stakeholders.
A number of factors influence the scope of this definition. We aim to explore as many of these factors as possible.
We look forward to keeping this dialogue about CSR and the textile and garment industry thriving!
