Our Commitments

Caroline Bouquin, CSR Coordinator at ESMOD

Our network of schools is developing an ecosystem that combines technology, inclusivity, influence, design and biomimicry. Responsible choices that reflect the ethics of our group and its solid values are applied at all levels and expressed through a number of significant collaborations with renowned organisations: Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat (CEC) ; Paris Good Fashion ; Chair BALI (Biarritz Lifestyle Industry) ; Refashion, etc. Not only as a company and as a group of companies but also as a higher education institution, ESMOD places the utmost importance on social responsibility, on the one hand in order to lead by example and on the other to ensure that its students understand what companies now expect of them.

We wanted to build a world in which “digital” makes life easier. More enjoyable. Without any hassle. We're even building a new and completely digitalized world. (...) This will lead you to unimaginable professions. What will yours be, how will you live and breathe Fashion? Anything is possible. You who live in this digital world (...) because you are the future of this country. You are the future of Fashion. You are the future of this Fashion industry: A space for creation. A space for freedom. A space for equality. You are the future of this Fashion, one that respects the environment. This Fashion that knows no borders. I hope you create and live this strong, free, tolerant and digital Fashion.

We strongly believe that the amount of clothing being produced today is far greater than humanity's needs. We share the beauty and excitement that physical fashion creates, but we believe there are ways to produce less and produce more sustainably (...). With DRESS X, we aim to demonstrate that some clothes can only exist in their digital form. We proposed a business case to ESMOD Fashion Business students and were pleasantly surprised by their ability to work effectively in such a short space of time. They carried out in-depth and highly relevant market research on this new and unusual topic, NFTs. The quality of their ideas and especially the winning team impressed us with their fair, innovative and easy-to-implement strategic recommendations. We quickly decided to establish a lasting partnership with ESMOD with the introduction of the ESMOD x DRESS X certificate.

Paris Good Fashion is an association that aims to make Paris the capital of sustainable fashion by 2024, when it will host the Olympic Games. Established in 2019 at the request of Paris City Council, Paris Good Fashion brings together more than a hundred stakeholders (major groups, retailers, NGOs, federations, start-ups, etc.), all working towards a common goal: accelerate the sector's social and environmental transition.

ESMOD is working every day to improve and transform the industry's practices by participating in their think tank.
