Syllabus
  • In recent years we have been living in the world full of the growing interest in the issues of maintainable and socially responsible conduct of business, which has been supported not only by the academic area but also by a number of significant international organizations (eg. OECD), European Union, some governments and also by enterprises themselves (including small and middle-scale businesses). The programme aims at informing students on basic principles and areas of and attitudes to the issues of maintainable conduct of business, as well as making students familiar with the process of its effective implementation in business management while showing its potential advantages which it may bring. The special attention is given to the key area of this concept (not only due to the changed EU legislation in this area which now requires CSR reporting), which is the process of reporting social and environmental impact, caused by company business activities, on stakeholders and a company as a whole (the so called CSR reporting). Crucial technique and tools of company reporting on maintainability, including the most respected reporting standards in this area, will be presented (eg. Global Reporting Initiative), and the status of CSR reporting in the world and in the Czech Republic will be outlined.
