Why should you take training in CSR and sustainability?
CSR (corporate social responsibility) or OSR (organizational social responsibility) is everyone’s business. But it needs leaders. Within companies, CSR project managers are at the heart of the initiative, sometimes supported by CSR liaisons organized by business unit, subsidiary, or entity.
It is essential for them to gain a thorough understanding of all aspects of sustainable development through training. This will enable them to:
- Learn about the regulations and challenges surrounding corporate social responsibility
- Training on the voluntary standards ISO 26000, ISO 53001, and ISO 20400
- Learn about the SDGs, workplace well-being, GRI reporting, and responsible procurement
- Learn how to implement a CSR initiative or project
- Learn how to manage CSR initiatives and stakeholder relations both internally and externally
- Prepare the company for economic, social, or health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) with agility, resilience, and pragmatism.
You can also request a IMPACT support by an AFNOR Compétences coach.
