Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the framework by which companies are required to voluntarily contribute to Sustainable Development and to find powerful levers of competitiveness.
The course aims to provide a solid conceptual base on Social Corporate Responsibility (CSR). Study cases provide the students with key elements of know-how for CSR implementation in a complex and changing web of business systems. It allows grasping relations between CSR and various areas of the economic reality.
The course uses the standard ISO 26000 as a guiding principle in this course. It provides an overview over the 7 areas of responsibility: Governance, Human Rights, Social relations and working conditions, Environment, Fair operating practices, Consumers issues, Communities and development. It will focus on Environment and Human Rights, which currently get a great attention.
The course also considers dialogue with stakeholders, one of the two central practices of Social Responsibility.
