Encouraging Sustainability and Social Responsibility in Business
Course Details
Description
Do you think encouraging sustainability and social responsibility in business works as a strategy? Are you looking for a better understanding of key concepts and standards to run your organisation in a more sustainable and socially responsible way?
What do you understand by CSR or Corporate Social Responsibility? Corporate social responsibility has been one of the hottest discussion topics in recent years. The ideas behind encouraging sustainability and social responsibility in business seem noble, as organisations commit to creating optimal circumstances for people to live and work. The reality is that every company, whether a micro-business or a large multinational corporation, can create sustainable, socially responsible environments that contribute to positive workplaces, communities, and futures.
This course has been designed to familiarise learners with building a business case for a corporate social responsibility program. It includes information on creating the program itself, as well as sample initiatives covering all of the ISO 26000 standard areas: due diligence, environmental sustainability, fair labour practices, human rights protection, and ethical operations.
