Beschreibung

The CAS aims at supporting professionals and practitioners who seek a continuing education program to enhance their skills in the dynamic field of Responsible Business Conduct (RBC). By adopting a practical approach that emphasizes the crucial process of due diligence, participants learn how to harmonize business practices with the principles of Responsible Business Conduct, including human rights and environmental sustainability.

The CAS consists of five modules:
  • Module 1, Foundations of RBC: This module introduces and analyzes the concept of Responsible Business Conduct based on the recently updated OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the current regulatory global framework and its developments around the world.
  • Module 2, Due Diligence: Incorporation of RBC in management systems, from risk identification to access to remedy, relevant case studies are the focus of this module.
  • Module 3, Group Projects: The module features live sessions with participants collaboratively working on RBC key cases and discussing due diligence best practices and effective access to remedy.
  • Module 4, In-depth Study: This module investigates crucial topics such as: Human Rights, Finance, Labor, Bribery and Corruption, Environment, and Digitalization from an RBC perspective with a special session on RBC in high-risk and conflict areas. A special focus will be given on the changes introduced by the updated OECD Guidelines.
  • Module 5, Individual Case Study: On the closing module, participants focus on RBC issues of personal relevance and interest, developing each an individual and original case study.
