Corporate Social Responsibility (Intermediate level)

Estimated duration : 5h30

In this course, we will discover that the origins of corporate social responsibility date back to antiquity, taking into account that the concept has changed over the years (It is of course, continually developing and evolving). The characteristics of CSR will be briefly presented and then we will study the factors that led to the development of ISO 26000: its description, its development and its links to the agricultural / horticultural sector.

We will demonstrate the importance of CSR in trade relations through the EU strategy, whilst also demonstrating its advantages for the stakeholders of the horticultural sector in ACP countries, before returning to ISO 26000 and its strategic importance: the proactive approach.
