EU Business School and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are partnering up for the second consecutive year to offer their joint Certificate Program in Corporate Social Responsibility. The certificate program will take place from Thursday, February 6 through Saturday, February 8, 2014, from 9:00-17:00 on all three days. Day one of the program will take place at the ILO headquarters in Geneva, with the remainder of the program taught at the Geneva campus of EU Business School.

EU Business School and the International Labour Organization’s new “Certificate in Sustainability Management” program is a three-day course designed to instill the importance of CSR in its future managers. All EU Business School MBA students, regardless of their major, are eligible to earn this certificate free of charge. The program is also open to non-EU Business School students at a cost of CHF 600.

The certificate course will first take an in-depth look into sustainability issues and their political economy, in terms of how it relates to investment and environment. It will then cover core labor standards, current challenges, company culture and the role of the state as they pertain to and affect CSR.

Students who successfully complete the program will leave the conference with the fundamental knowledge needed to analyze, assess and provide solutions to sustainability issues. More specifically, they should be able to integrate sustainable principles into their supply chain, manage stakeholder relations more efficiently, build strong supply chain partnerships and incorporate sustainable business methods into operations; particular skills that would benefit any future management candidate. Additionally, participants will receive a joint certificate of attendance from EU Business School and ILO upon completion of the seminar.
