CSRD and CSR training
We offer CSRD training courses for executives, managers and operational staff. We organize training courses, conferences and workshops to raise awareness, understand and take action on ecological issues.
CSRD training
We offer you exclusive training on the European CSRD directive in three modules led by expert trainers, either face-to-face or by videoconference. Our approach combines rigor and strategic vision, in the belief that this text presents an opportunity for organizations to transform their business models and their financial and operational management.

Awareness
Awareness-raising is the first step in implementing an ambitious CSR strategy. It enables employees to understand the issues at stake in a rational way, thanks to the scientific approach proposed, but also in a sensitive way, thanks to the human and environmental impacts highlighted.
