The CSR Academy began an international programme of training last month
in conjunction with its newly-appointed global training partner, BSI
Management Systems.
The training company has been awarded international rights to use the
Academy’s CSR Competency Framework until 2007 and is planning a series
of training sessions. The first will be held in China, Japan and Korea,
followed by Europe and the Americas.
The programme opened last month with a seminar in Korea attended by 60
companies including Daewoo International, Hyundai Motor Company and
Samsung Electronics.
The CSR Academy started as a UK initiative, set up by the British
government, aimed at providing training for organizations that are
integrating corporate responsibility within more than one management
discipline.
Its popularity in the UK – and need for cash to continue – prompted the
academy to look for a partner to market its programmes worldwide.
BSI is the world’s largest management systems registrar.
