Stay Tuned for Our Fall 2020 Program Dates

Championing CSR in your Company and Your Career

Executives and their teams need the skills, network, and increased expertise to achieve community impact goals while delivering value to the organization. The Rutgers Institute for Ethical Leadership, in partnerships with the Rutgers Institute for Corporate Social Innovation and the Rutgers Business School Executive Education Program, offer a two-day, deep dive into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the related fields of philanthropy, sustainability, risk management, and ethics.

Benefits of the Program

In this program we will help you develop a clear understanding of CSR and its boundaries. It also addresses the merits, and demerits, of undertaking various forms of CSR, through exploration of the ethical, legal, and business cases for CSR. Our emphasis, though, will be on implementation, as we help you to develop a set of tools for putting CSR into practice and complete exercises involving real-world cases.
