The programmes 

For early stage CSR reporters: there are places still available for CSR practitioners. The criteria for the programme are that you are in a CSR role and that the company has either published its first CSR report or intends to within the next year. This sets the framework for a group focused on practical action.

For more mature CSR reporters: there is now an opportunity to join a group of practitioners working on challenges beyond the early stages of measurement and reporting. The group has some core members who have taken part in the 2 year programme currently being evaluated.  Some will continue for a new programme of 6 workshops, and there is also the opportunity for others to join at this stage and shape the themes around which we will structure our workshops.  Interested companies may contribute to the themes for examination in workshops and this information will be exchanged following registration.

Criteria: mature CSR programme and 2+ years reporting track record (stand alone CR report). We aim to start a new programme in Spring 2008.
