Description

St. Michael’s is a recognized leader in undergraduate, graduate and
lifelong education. Its highly acclaimed Certificate in Corporate
Social Responsibility is a unique executive education program developed in
collaboration with the Conference Board of Canada. Founded over 150
years ago, the University of St. Michael's College is federated with the
University of Toronto. Its faculty bring to current CSR issues the
understandings that they have gained not only from the perspective of
business but also from a tradition that includes the study of literature,
philosophy and ethics. The goal of the program is to engage participants
in a process of weaving together the major strands of CSR in a way that
provides a time out from customary corporate activity. Alumni have
called the result "transformational".
Since 2003 St. Michael's has collaborated with an innovative technology
company, ExperiencePoint to produce and distribute ExperienceCSR, a web
based business simulation . In the simulation, which is offered as part
of the Certificate program, participants advise a multinational
technology firm on revising its corporate strategy to meet a myriad of
critical environmental, community, employee relations, human rights and
financial objectives. Through the application of sound CSR principles,
participants help the corporation align its operations to its articulated
values and, consequently, satisfy stakeholder interests and ensure
long-term profitability. (www.experiencepoint.com)
