In an era where businesses are increasingly held accountable for their impact on society and the environment, this course on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Business Practices offers a comprehensive framework for integrating ethical principles into organisational strategies. Divided into two modules, the programme explores foundational concepts in the first module, including definitions of CSR, moral foundations, stakeholder engagement, environmental impacts, social responsibilities, and global perspectives. Through 36 short videos (5-10 minutes each) across six topics, learners will gain a solid understanding of why CSR matters, drawing from historical evolutions and real-world examples to illustrate how companies can balance profit with purpose.
The second module shifts the focus to practical implementation, equipping participants with the tools to embed sustainability into their daily operations. Topics cover strategic integration, supply chain management, performance measurement, advanced environmental strategies, social innovation, and future trends. Another 36 videos delve into actionable insights, such as achieving net-zero goals, encouraging ethical supply chains, and navigating emerging challenges like technological disruptions and regulatory shifts. This hands-on approach ensures that learners can apply concepts to create resilient and impactful businesses that contribute positively to global goals, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and students alike, this course empowers individuals to drive meaningful change within their organisations. By the end, participants will not only comprehend the theoretical underpinnings of CSR but also possess the skills to measure, report, and innovate sustainable practices. Whether aiming to enhance corporate reputation, mitigate risks, or promote innovation, this programme provides the knowledge and inspiration to lead in a sustainable future.
