The roles and responsibilities of businesses are changing rapidly; society increasingly expects that organisations should act responsibly not just to their shareholders but also to their wider stakeholders and the broader community. Business, therefore, is a great platform for social and environmental change and Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CR&S) Practitioners help to drive this by delivering an organisation's CR&S strategy, releasing the power of business to contribute positively toward social and environmental outcomes.

 

UEL's Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CR&S) apprenticeship will build practitioners' ability to engage with their chosen field by developing a strong theoretical base for understanding the principles underpinning corporate responsibility and sustainability (the sustainable development goals, theories of intersectional inequality, well-being, capabilities, and ethical practice). In tandem, apprentices will be supported to develop the practical skills needed for developing and implementing a CR&S strategy (strategic planning, project management, stakeholder analysis, negotiation, and data management).
