Course in Corporate Social Responsibility in Sport — Online

Sport organizations influence communities, employees, fans, partners and the environment. Corporate social responsibility helps them understand that influence, define priorities and act consistently rather than treating social initiatives as isolated campaigns.

This course develops a structured approach to corporate social responsibility in sport. You will examine stakeholder analysis, material issues, governance, ethics, social and environmental responsibility, program design, implementation, measurement and communication. The objective is to connect organizational purpose with responsible decisions and initiatives that create value for both the sport entity and the communities around it.

Give social responsibility a strategic role in sport through stakeholder insight, coherent action and transparent communication.
