This course provides an in-depth understanding of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and related areas such as Compliance, Risk, and Corporate Governance. It examines the relationships among a firm’s executive leadership, governing board, and stakeholders, exploring various governance models in both for-profit and non-profit sectors within the U.S. It also covers the roles and responsibilities of each party, as outlined in legal codes and current best practices. The course discusses the functions of different board committees and their interactions with regulatory agencies, such as the Central Bank of Egypt. A core part of the course explores the “purpose of CSR” from multiple perspectives and its relationship with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, with insights from prominent global and Egyptian thought leaders. Banks today face numerous global challenges and ethical considerations. These challenges often bring differing expectations regarding the economic, social, and environmental responsibilities that organizations should uphold. This course guides participants through the principles and techniques of CSR, helping them develop and implement CSR frameworks that comply with international standards and align with the “triple bottom line” — Profit, People, and Planet — rather than focusing solely on profits.
