Benefits and learning outcomes
- Understanding the benefits to your business of being responsible;
- Scoping out what corporate responsibility means for your company;
- Practical techniques for getting internal buy-in from the top to the bottom of the company;
- Useful tools and approaches to manage and measure CR activities
- Understanding the different governance systems that can enable CR

"The course was both enjoyable and informative, and I left very excited about organising and applying a programme for my organisation. It provided the opportunity to speak to other professionals involved in CR, from all sorts of businesses, both those who were more experienced or starting out as I am. It provided practical ideas about how to decide on the best course of action for my organisation, and how to gain support throughout the company. Since attending I have managed to develop a Corporate Responsibility model for the company, to show internally and externally what we are doing and the predicted impact. This will raise the profile for CR as something that the company is serious about."
