Community Investment and Impact Measurement Training by CSR Asia (1 day) Community Investment is an essential part of CSR. This course will provide participants with the skills to develop a CSR system founded on engagement with the community (the basis of good CSR). The key issue discussed will be how to measure your CSR impact; i.e., are resources being utilized in ways to provide the best possible benefits to the communities in which your company is engaged? Being able to measure impact and collect data allows companies to
i) Manage costs and ensure high impact for communities
ii) To build a much more data-driven communications program for stakeholders.
