Responsible Business
Management Training

Develop a strong understanding of the case for responsible business and the steps towards developing your organisation’s RB or CR strategy. Get to grips with the importance of having clear purpose, ambition and targets that have a clear link to the Global Goals. Gain insights into the sustainability challenge and how global megatrends are shaping business strategy and will impact your marketplace now and into the future.

Determine the best ways to identify, understand and engage with your stakeholders and why this is vital to delivering a successful responsible business strategy. You will learn techniques for mapping the most relevant groups and about when to use the different methods of engagement.

Using a risk framework and an impact and likelihood assessment tool we will show you how to get responsible business issues onto your organisation’s risk register. This will ensure that they are getting attention at the highest levels. Additionally, we will demonstrate the tools for you to build an accurate materiality matrix for your organisation that considers the opinions of your stakeholders and an assessment of the impact of the issues on your organisational strategic objectives

Explore the best methods and tools to identify and measure impact, testing them out on your current activities or strategies. Examine the five key markers of good corporate governance, from transparency to rewards.

Examine how wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, environment and community impact strategies can gain power from being integrated. While it is unlikely that one person is responsible for creating all of these strategies, in this session you will identify ways that your organisation’s responsible business ambitions can be accelerated by an interconnected approach. 

Learn how to gain traction for your company’s responsible business programme. This module was developed in conjunction with Cranfield University and will give you the tools you need to identify changes you want to make and drive the process from wherever you sit in the organisation.

This programme will be of most benefit to people who:

• work for an organisation that is part of BITC’s network of responsible businesses or is looking to join the movement
• have a role in development and delivery of responsible business strategies or programmes
• have an intermediate level of knowledge about some aspects of responsible business and are ambitious to develop their skills and desire to drive a best practice approach.
