BACKGROUND
The ILO-Business Schools Initiative was launched in 2009 with the aims at building a global network of leading educational institutions and academics working in the field of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Therefore, the training packages have been jointly developed by ILO, ITC and some prestigious universities in the world for the research and teaching activities that promote education on sustainable and responsible enterprises at a business school level in developing countries.
In its first market-facing capacity building projects, the network has embarked on the development of a teaching module on Sustainable Supply Chains Management (B-Schools project I) and on the revision of a teaching package on The Labour Dimension of CSR: from principles to practice (BSchools project II). The B- School project I involved three institutions: Nottingham University through the International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility, the International Management Institute of India and Universidad Catolica de Chile. This project coordination was assured by the Multinational Enterprises programme of the ILO. The product was finalized in 2012 after a couple of testing workshops in Ghana, China and Europe. The B-Schools project II on Labour Dimension of CSR was conducted by CRESV Bocconi University, Lingnan (University) College, Sun Yat-sen University and Egade Business Schools, ITESMITC-ILO was coordinating this project, providing oversight, guidance and technical inputs to the training packages in order to ensure the quality, relevance and pedagogy of the package; and also the conformity to ILO messages and markers.
