One of the first intensive training courses for CSR managers in Asian
companies is being held in Beijing on May 26 and 27. The main theme
will be building better business in China through CSR, though a broader
view will also be taken.
Issues prominent in China will be considered in detail, and a
discussion session will look at likely future problems, as well as the order in
which they should be tackled. Another session will ask how brand and
reputation can be linked to CSR.
Although the course is aimed primarily at CSR managers, it is open to
non-governmental organizations, representatives of business
associations, consultants and any others interested in improving their
knowledge of the subject.
The course is being run by CSR Asia, the information, research and
training organization, and Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische
Zusammenarbeit, a German government enterprise that tries to improve
living conditions in partner countries and conserve their natural
resources.
The course costs $500 (£285).
