Training & Certification Opportunity for Aspiring CSR Practitioners

October 29, 2010

The Centre for Sustainability and Excellence (CSE) continues its series of European Sustainability (CSR) Practitioner Workshops by hosting its next training in Brussels between November 18 and 19, 2010.

Managers, Directors and Senior Executives working in CSR, Sustainability, Public Relations, Marketing, Corporate Communications, Human Resources and Environmental Services will learn how to align the Triple Bottom Line with their strategic and operational organizational objectives through the facilitation of global sustainability pioneers and experts with decades of experience in Sustainable Development.

Trainer, Nikos Avlonas, CEO of CSE will be joined by Guest Speaker John Swannick, Executive Director of EABIS – The Academy of Business in Society to train and guide professionals responsible for the design, management and communication of CSR strategy, programs and reports. Being appointed to lead organizational excellence through CSR is a challenge in itself. Concepts, standards and methodologies are vague in the mainstream market and professionals are finding themselves battling between aspirations to be Sustainability leaders and the reality of a critical market, which is both a trend setter and sometimes even quick to judge what is and what is not Sustainable Excellence.

At present, more than 130 CSR Practitioners from 5 continents and over 18 countries are qualified to implement the most current methodologies on Strategy and Reporting, Stakeholder Engagement, Green Marketing and CSR Scorecards.

    “I appreciated the teamwork, collaborative approach, and availability of the instructors for questions and discussions. It was great!” – Grant Buma, Green Leader, Sara Lee
    “The true sign of a superior program is the ability to engage participants to share their varied experiences and ideas. The CSE IEMA-approved Sustainability Practitioner Workshop offers terrific value; dynamic interaction combined with thought-provoking ideas, as well as – of course – the opportunity to earn the globally recognized CSR-P designation” – John Friedman, Sustainable Business Network of Washington
