Corporate Social Responsibility

Learn how to minimise impacts and maximise benefits
with a programme of responsible competitiveness

Stakeholders of all kinds – customers, partners, shareholders, neighbours – are becoming more and more aware of the need for corporate social responsibility. Issues such as environmental protection, climate change, human rights and organisations’ impact on the community they’re part of, can no longer be ignored.

This corporate social responsibility course is unlike any other course on this subject, and is tutored by one of the people that co-wrote the book, “Do the right thing: the practical, jargon-free guide to corporate social responsibility”

Forget baffling jargon and complicated theory. This course will help you get to grips with improving your organisation’s environmental management, sustainability, health and safety and trading ethics with straightforward guidance and tips. You’ll understand the basics of corporate social responsibility, recognise the benefits and get ready to put principles into practice from day one.
