The course focuses on the social and labour conditions with supplying companies in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and on social impacts within the communities where the supplying manufacturers operate. This course goes beyond the communication of corporate social responsibility, as it presents those specific tools, voluntary standards and product standards (e.g. the standard ISO 26000 – Social responsibility), which are able to identify and map relevant stakeholders and social sustainability issues. The course presents options for addressing the social sustainability issues, in supply chain management through upgrading producers, and in product development for corporate social innovation.
This is a Technical University of Denmark course open to DIS students. Please ensure you read the full details on taking external courses through DIS.
