Corporate social responsibility and sustainability are popular concepts, but they are often misconstrued and poorly implemented.
Business and human rights (BHR) discourse emerged as a regulatory critique to corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Against the backdrop of the increasing power, influence and control of businesses globally, but especially in the developing economies such as in Africa, this course blends theory and practical insights with an understanding of the complementary concepts of CSR, BHR and sustainability.
It provides an integrated study of CSR and BHR in African context and an excellent opportunity for participants to understand how these constructs are operationalised within African countries and in major international regulatory dialogues across the world.
Participants will gain a better understanding of the nuances concerning these concepts, and will not only appreciate the extent of their rights and responsibilities in CSR-related and BHR-inspired legislations in South Africa and beyond, but will also be better able to comply with such CSR and BHR requirements within the jurisdiction.
Join us for an six-hour course, held over two days.
This course will be held remotely, most likely on Zoom - exact details will be sent to registered participants a few days before the course.
