Awareness raising and training

Raising awareness about CSR issues among your employees and training your company's staff is the first step towards implementing an efficient CSR approach. 
This is why we offer workshops to raise awareness and educate people about the climate emergency, sustainable development and CSR, such as the Climate Fresco Workshop led by our certified facilitator Juliane BECOURT. 
Our team of CSR experts can also intervene in the training of your activities in line with societal evolutions, on topics such as ethics and corruption, the value chain, purchasing, the circular economy, eco-design, risk analysis and management.
