Sustainability/CSR Public Training Courses
Our five-day public Corporate Responsibility training, in partnership with Two Tomorrows is for managers, academics, consultants and auditors seeking a solid grounding in corporate responsibility, and those seeking to move into the CR field. It is the first CR training and certification programme be accredited by AccountAbility. The training course fulfills the requirements for the trainee to become an Associate Certified Sustainability Assurance Practitioner (CSAP), and contributes towards the requirements to become a CSAP Practitioner or CSAP Lead Practitioner. It is also useful for anyone, at any stage of their career with professional interest in sustainability. Our first successful programme took place in Singapore in May 2010 with 9 participants successfully completing the course and gaining eligibility to become a CSAP.
