Consultancy
Bespoke Projects and Consultancy
The Centre for Sustainable Fashion has a core team of design practitioners, researchers, sustainability strategists and brand development consultants.
The breadth and variety of our experience allows us to respond to a wide variety of briefs offering inspirational, challenging and informative formats and content.
Although each project is conceived and developed based on the needs and requirements of an individual business, the majority of projects will fit into one or more of the following areas:
Sustainability Strategy
Working with senior management, design and CSR teams to develop a dynamic, innovative and future facing approach that tackles key sustainability issues within the business.
Internal Communications
Winning the hearts and minds of everyone involved in a business, is key to achieving success at every level. We develop awareness of sustainability issues throughout a business with a particular focus on design, buying and marketing teams. Inspirational lectures and presentations from CSF experts begin the process of embedding new ways of thinking across the organisation and can be followed up with related resources.
Team Building and Change Management
We recognize that the journey towards sustainability is both a challenge and an opportunity involving both thought and action. We facilitate the difficult process of moving towards new working practices but we also use sustainability as a tool to galvanise innovative thinking and create a culture of intrepreneurship. We reinvigorate teams through a series of inspiring and interactive seminars and workshops, devised for and tailored to the individual business needs; these sessions explore how we can design, produce and communicate better.
Product & Service Development
Working with design and product development teams to research, develop and deliver new innovation in sustainability focused products and services. We will guide and contribute to the design process; we will identify appropriate material and supply chain option; we will work with the marketing team to develop key messaging surrounding the products and/or services.
