Abstract [en]

In regards to the climate change we are currently experimenting and the Human Rights that still need to be defended around the world. Awareness has been developed in society, and sustainability and ethics are more and more mentioned by consumers when it comes to buying new products. This raised interest in Corporate Social Responsibility along with the question of what it is exactly. Since the 1980s, academic writers try to define it and frame it. Hence the case study I made trying to find out what are companies responsible for. I studied sustainability reports of four different textile companies from France and Sweden to gain a deeper knowledge about how they understand their responsibility regarding the several definitions of CSR existing in the literature. I also looked at the boundaries companies from the textile sector could see and implement on their responsibility. The findings suggest that, in the textile industry, the environment and work conditions are the most important issues to deal with according to the companies. The limits of their CSR are mainly in the way to measuring the actions taken, there are no universal indicators and businesses have to set up their own.
