Community impact and social responsibility (AU)

Duration: 66 minutes

Overview: This course introduces the principles of corporate social responsibility and community engagement for professionals working in corporate, mining, and local government contexts. It covers what CSR means in an Australian setting, how to identify and engage with stakeholders effectively, what good CSR practice looks like in action, and how to measure and report on social impact. It also examines the reputational, legal, and operational risks that arise when community engagement falls short.

Why is this course important? Organisations that invest in genuine community engagement build the trust, relationships, and social licence they need to operate effectively over the long term. The legal and regulatory expectations placed on Australian organisations are increasing - and the consequences of poor community engagement, from reputational damage to project suspension and legal liability, consistently exceed the cost of getting it right from the outset.

Suitable for: Managers, team leaders, and professionals in corporate, mining, and local government organisations in Australia, whose roles involve interaction with external stakeholders, community groups, or responsibilities related to social impact reporting. No prior formal training in CSR or community engagement is assumed.

Online Assessment: None
