CSR Training: Understand, Raise Awareness, and Take Action

CSR Training Modules Offered

Climate Training

Climate change is one of the major challenges businesses must address. This climate training helps your employees understand the scientific mechanisms behind it, measure its impacts on ecosystems, the economy, and society, and identify appropriate action levers relevant to their professional context.

Discover the Climate Training

What your teams will learn:

• The scientific foundations of climate: greenhouse effect, role of greenhouse gases, extreme weather events, and global trends.
• Impacts on regions and businesses: effects on resources, biodiversity, and value chains.
• Organizational and individual levers for action: energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and adaptation of professional practices.
• Sector-specific perspective: identification of climate-related risks and opportunities based on your industry.

This training includes concrete examples, case studies, and can be enhanced with interactive learning activities such as the Climate Fresk.

Plastic Pollution Training

Plastic pollution is a major environmental and societal challenge. This training aims to raise awareness among your employees about the impacts of this omnipresent material while providing concrete solutions to reduce its use in a professional setting.

Discover the Plastic Pollution Training

Key points:

• Life cycle of plastics: from production to their presence in the ocean, including their limited recycling.
• Environmental and health impacts: ecosystem pollution, presence of microplastics, consequences for biodiversity and human health.
• Plastic reduction strategies: alternatives to single-use plastics, corporate “de-plastification” initiatives, and best practices for responsible purchasing.
• Link to regulations: understanding anti-plastic laws and anticipating their implementation.

To strengthen this training, your teams can also participate in the Plastic Pollution Fresk to visualize the full impact of this material.

This training can be complemented with practical workshops such as a DIY Workshop to introduce your employees to zero waste practices.
