The subject of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has generated growing interest over the years and is now seen as mainstream. Regardless of their size, form of ownership, nature and location, enterprises have the potential to and increasingly do contribute to economic and social development by deploying voluntary efforts in the CSR area.
The elective course on The Labour Dimension of CSR: From Principles to Practice aims at providing the necessary theoretical background to better understand the employment and labour issues relating to CSR. The course describes the evolution of concepts, the promotional role of international organizations and a number of selected workplace initiatives which have successfully applied the advocated labour principles. Particular attention is given to practical examples regarding: (i) freedom of association and collective bargaining; (ii) the effective abolition of forced and child labour; and (iii) the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.
The course adopts a learner-centred, participatory approach combining presentations, debates, exercises and interactive sessions. Participants have ample opportunity to share their views and experiences relevant to the subject treated. The analysis of case studies is emphasized as principal technique to acquire new knowledge and competencies. Individual and group assignments are proposed to look into some practicalities of the labour principles referred to within a CSR perspective.
