Overview of the CSR School
The CSR-School provides advanced training regarding the identification of sustainability-related business opportunities and the inclusion of responsibility in the core of one’s business strategy, in order to achieve sustainable value and formulate a more resilient organization.
The training program is envisioned as a journey that will cover all major identified areas that relate to the responsible management of sustainability. CSR-School 2023 will take place between 13 November and 11 December on a weekly basis, during which a minimum of 40 hours of sustainability-related knowledge and management experience will be shared, trainees will gain an up-to-date overview of major developments around the largest environmental, social and governance challenges affecting businesses nowadays. This year, the CSR-School will take place in hybrid form, giving attendees – and speakers – the choice to either attend in person (location: The American College of Greece, Athens) or virtually (via Zoom).
During the 5 Hybrid Sessions, the participants will attend lectures by distinguished academic faculty members, discuss relevant case studies, learn about best practices that have been implemented by experienced senior professionals and exchange views and thoughts around the incorporation of relevant theory into the CSR initiatives of their own organization.
