CSR Code of Conduct Course: Handling the CoC with confidence
This blended learning course equips buyers with the necessary knowledge and skills about the content of the CoC and how to handle the CoC in practice.
The CoC will rise from a simple document that buyers are unsure about to a living document that is strongly integrated in the purchasing processes.
Organizations will be able to position themselves as a leader in the human rights field while improving labor standards in their supply chains.


Benefits of the CoC-Course

-
More confidence in communicating the principles to suppliers
For CSR-managers:
-
More cooperation from buying on CSR
-
Responsibility for sustainability is spread on more shoulders
For companies as a whole:

Compliance with human rights legislation (e.g. German Supply Chain Act)
-
Raise awareness within employees' mindset
Who the CoC-Course is for
The course is designed for buyers, so that they can obtain the necessary foundations of labor and human rights.
Buyers play a central role in implementing the CoC-principles at the suppliers. Yet, if they don't feel sure about what the principle mean, how can their potential be used?
This is what this course is for.
