Our inner peace is increasingly strained.

An information session for Globethics.net’s 8-week short course will take place on 10 February. The course is called Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development – in partnership with Milpark Business School.

The course aims to address the needs of professionals in private companies, NGOs, International Organisations and Governments who are currently involved in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development (CSR), or would like to be involved in CSR, and wish to make the concept applicable in their institution.
