same goals. Beyond borders, beyond cultures, beyond

professionals in contact with each other, enabling them to connect

This enables them to construct long-lasting and fruitful trust-based
relationships.

Corporate Social Responsibility Revisited By Brian Summerfield
A few months ago, I wrote an article for CLO magazine’s Executive Briefings newsletter about the role of the learning function in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. In the piece, I talked to Annick Renaud-Coulon, who has promoted the idea of using the corporate university as a means to CSR ends in her native Europe and beyond.
Corporate
University: a lever of Corporate Responsibility By Annick Renaud-Coulon
Why do the social and environmental commitments established
by companies risk backfiring on their authors? Annual reports
that companies conscientiously produce year after year, with
the help of special agencies, don’t usually posit them
as responsible and respectable to their stakeholders.
Corporate Social Responsibility:
How Can Learning Contribute By Annick Renaud-Coulon to CLO Magazine
One emerging element in executive education has been corporate social responsibility. How can the learning organization encourage this sort of behavior, which ultimately has a positive effect on the bottom line? The idea that education is the key to everything isn't new. Plato was a fervent critic of the civilization in which he lived, which was rife with corruption, and saw education as a means of creating the ideal society.
Corporate Universities are
not Training Centres
We must remove the ambiguity. Corporate universities are not training
centres. The fact that corporate universities coexist with training
centres in companies proves this point.
Corporate university is
the generic name given to educational structures based in private
and public, commercial and non-commercial organisations, to help
implement—through education—the organisation's strategies
in human, economic, financial, technological, social and environmental
terms.
