In reply to Chris' email asking members to send a quick email introducing themselves, here's our contribution:

Fashioning an Ethical Industry (FEI) is a UK based education project of Labour Behind the Label. The project works with tutors and students of fashion-related courses to give an overview of how the fashion industry positively and negatively impacts on working conditions in garment manufacture. FEI aims to inspire students - as the next generation of industry players - to raise standards for garment workers in the fashion industry of the future. FEI runs student workshops, organises tutor-training events, provides teaching resources and works with tutors to integrate ethical issues related to garment manufacturing into their teaching. The project has produced a range of fact sheets for students and tutors, providing background and case studies of the issues facing garment workers the world over.

See www.fashioninganethicalindustry.org for more information.

We are very much looking at the social justice pillar of sustainability but recognise the importance of the other two / three of environmental soundness, economic viability and well-being.

Best wishes
Liz
