Corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and business and human rights in Africa 2025

Corporate social responsibility and sustainability are popular concepts, but they are often misconstrued and poorly implemented.

Business and human rights (BHR) discourse emerged as a regulatory critique to corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Against the backdrop of the increasing power, influence and control of businesses globally, but especially in the developing economies such as in Africa, this course blends theory and practical insights with an understanding of the complementary concepts of CSR, BHR and sustainability.

Join us for an six-hour course, held over two days.

When and where?

28 and 29 July 2025, 09:00 to 12:00 SAST

This course will be held remotely, most likely on Zoom

The course will not only appeal to academics, researchers and policy-makers, but will also be applicable to corporate managers, executives and directors, attorneys, legal consultants, compliance officers, and company secretaries, among others.
