CAS Corporate Responsibility
When it comes to establishing sustainability or social responsibility, in the medium term many tasks can only be accomplished if the company has the necessary competencies. Those who are in charge need to be aware of the main social issues, be able to conduct stakeholder management, have the ability to develop sustainability strategies, design performance indicator systems, and know the current standards of sustainability reporting. All these competencies can be acquired by completing a CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) in Corporate Responsibility.
“I appreciated the fact that the program deliberately chose a strategic perspective by addressing the question of how a company can better achieve its own corporate goals by assuming responsibility for society.”
Matthias Baer, Alumnus 2020
“During the program, I have learned how to develop, implement, and sustain an effective sustainability strategy in a company and how to communicate it to the right stakeholders on a long-term basis.”
Patricia Rössli, Alumna 2019
“The program helped me to understand the concept of Corporate Responsibility in theory and practice better. I now feel more confident in steering, arguing, and solving the challenges I face in my day-to-day work.”
Simone Durrer-Merkle, Alumna 2017
CAS Managing Diversity, Inclusion and Social Sustainability
The CAS teaches the basics of diversity, inclusion, equal opportunities and social sustainability. Participants learn about the needs of different diversity groups and intersectional issues and gain insights into social sustainability goals and human rights. They develop and implement DIS strategies, key figures and toolkits and learn how to combat forms of discrimination and comply with ethical guidelines. The transformation to an inclusive and socially sustainable culture is supported by practical insights. In addition, the external perspective on diversity and inclusion is addressed in order to better understand the needs of stakeholders. Participants learn about diversity marketing and branding and shape their communication practice inclusively. The program offers insights into DIS networks, certifications and labels.
