Bringing Corporate Social Responsibility to Life

/0 Comments/in /by

This year’s CEMS MIM cohort at the University of Economics, Prague (VSE) was particularly keen on sustainable development & their contribution to society. Beyond global CEMS initiatives like Sustainability Week, VSE sought a way to incorporate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into the local programme. This semester, a unique new discipline was introduced at VSE, CSR in Practice. All great changes start with small actions, and the best way to make that change happen is to start it yourself.  CEMS student Darya Hvizdalova tells us about her experience.

The CEMS MIM programme at VSE now offers its students a fantastic possibility to make somebody’s life a little bit brighter – be it an orphaned child or someone who is very ill.
