Social Responsibility Manager

Especially for

Managers of companies/organisations

• Maintain the thin line between social responsibility and economic interest

• Your company influences society: its wellbeing, health, environment and relations with stakeholders.

• Your employees and their relatives are especially impacted. To ensure long-term sustainability of your economic interests, your company should include management of social responsibilities into your management system. Learn how to do this effectively.

Governmental, non-governmental and other important decision-making bodies 

• Monitor the impact of companies on your local environment.

• Organisations in your local environment have a great impact on society as a whole. Using social responsibility management (SRM) knowledge, you can better monitor the status of social responsibility in organisations and its influence on local community. Learn how to manage your social-responsibility activities effectively.

Society in general 

• Understand how your life can be improved.

• You have a greater impact on your life environment than you think. Learn how to influence your employer, your decision makers and your social network to be socially responsible. The change starts with you.

Recommended prerequisites

• Strong motivation and interest in social responsibility, leadership and management topics.

• At least some experience from the field.

• Basic social-responsibility knowledge gained by self-study or other courses in your country (for example, the local CSR and Sustainability management  course by IRDO).
