Corporate responsibility posters from our series of posters.

The poster bundles the most important facts and information on corporate responsibility in the textile and clothing industry. In addition, possibilities for action are shown, how each individual can take action against the grievances.

The poster series is perfect for informing about basic practices of the textile and clothing industry during clothing swap parties, film evenings or other events. The posters are available for self-expression on our website.

Topics of the poster series:

  • Labour law is a human right
  • Gender inequality

  • Textile seal
  • Overconsumption & old clothes
