We are close to launching a new suite of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) related Training and Mentoring services called Coethica Training and we are looking for feedback about current market requirements. We are really keen to hear from organisations or individuals about real world specific problems that our training can help you overcome.

We have informally provided training to our clients for a number of years now and feel the time is right to formalise and expand these services to further improve business performance through professional development in CSR.

As CSR is becoming an essential business tool to increase and protect profits, it requires more specialised knowledge to exploit opportunities and minimise risk in a commercial world facing growing environmental regulation, demands for transparency and social media saturation.

Our aim is to raise awareness and understanding of the often complex systems that businesses are increasingly expected to manage, therefore providing the skills to create additional competitive advantage.

We will soon be offering Training and Mentoring services to all businesses of all sizes; from start-ups to the largest corporation. We intend to offer a selection of core courses but strongly believe in delivering bespoke training to suit each business’ or individual’s needs.
