Cycle in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

INDR, in collaboration with the House of Training, offers a complete CSR training cycle once a year in English. The cycle starts with the CSR & ESR Assessment module, an introduction to CSR and sustainability and the ESR Guide, which prepares the participant to assess the CSR maturity of their company online.

The training cycle continues with four specific modules, dedicated to CSR strategy, as well as to governance, social and environmental aspects. These sessions are illustrated by concrete examples and practices of companies from all sectors.

As an option, participants who have completed all the modules of the training course can validate their knowledge through a certification exam. It is not necessary to have followed the modules in the schedule order to take the exam.

At the end of these sessions, participants will understand the themes and issues of CSR, will have identified concrete areas for improvement to be integrated into their company and will be able to begin the implementation of the INDR's national ESR - Entreprise Socialement Responsable label in the best conditions.

Depending on your needs, you can follow the complete cycle, participate in individual modules, or benefit from a tailor-made in house of training.
