By completing this course, learners will be able to analyze CSR dimensions, evaluate compliance frameworks, assess stakeholder roles, and design ethical strategies that foster long-term business and societal value. The program equips learners to integrate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into organizational strategy, manage global risks, and create sustainable value through diversity, inclusion, ethical marketing, and responsible supply chain practices.

Learners will benefit by gaining practical knowledge of CSR laws, compliance requirements, and strategic approaches that enhance brand reputation, customer loyalty, and organizational competitiveness. The course highlights real-world examples, including the Unilever Lifebuoy case, to demonstrate how CSR drives both social impact and financial performance. What makes this course unique is its structured blend of fundamental CSR principles, governance perspectives, and advanced value-creation strategies. Instead of treating CSR as philanthropy, it positions CSR as a core driver of innovation, trust, and resilience in modern business. This course is ideal for business professionals, managers, and students who want to implement CSR effectively and transform it into a strategic advantage.

This module introduces the fundamental principles of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), exploring its core dimensions, compliance frameworks, and strategic approaches.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
