[Singapore/ Malaysia/ Vietnam/ Myanmar] Chương Trình Học Bổng Ngắn Hạn ASEAN CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Fellowship 2018 - Cơ Hội Trải Nghiệm 4 Quốc Gia ASEAN Trong Vòng 3 Tuần
The ASEAN CSR Fellowship seeks to build up the next generation of ambassadors for responsible business in Southeast Asia, harnessing the potential of the private sector in addressing key regional issues in anti-corruption, environmental degradation, and human rights. The Fellowship is part of ACN’s ongoing efforts to help practitioners re-define CSR, away from its misconception that it is just corporate philanthropy and volunteerism, towards the business responsibility to look beyond their bottom line and consider the social and environmental implications of their activities. The attention is shifted from how businesses spend money (charity) to how the money is made.

The following main topics will be covered over the 3 modules through classroom sessions, workshops, site visits and talks:
| The business case for CSR – Why should businesses even bother? |
What is the business case for responsible business? In today's changing landscape, are there increasing demands from external stakeholders - consumers, investors, employees, media - for ethical business? What are the international standards which can serve as guides for stakeholders to act? |
| Human rights |
What are the key human rights issues caused by business activity in this region? (e.g. poor labour standards, forced labour, poor treatment of migrant workers, land-grabbing, contamination of community resources, marginalization of vulnerable groups such as indigenous groups, women and children) Which industries are most susceptible to lapses in human rights? How do problems like forced labour practices inadvertently enter the supply chain? |
| Corporate governance |
How can we dispel the myth that corruption is part of the business culture in this region? How can businesses improve compliance systems and uphold business integrity amid pressures? |
| Environmental sustainability |
What are the key challenges and opportunities in environmental protection by the private sector? What are the best practices in Sustainability Reporting? |
| The private sector’s role in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) | What role do businesses have to play in sustainable development if this is commonly seen as a responsibility of governments and civil society? How can businesses help to address some of ASEAN's key issues? |
