The online e-learning tutorial Chronos deals with the business case for sustainable development. It is intended as a straightforward introduction for employees that can help organisations move sustainable development thinking into the mainstream.
Companies know that if sustainability is to be embedded in their organisations, their staff will need training. E-learning about sustainability and CSR provides a practical and cost-effective alternative to a conventional training course.
Chronos was designed to raise awareness and provide employees with an introduction to the subject of sustainable development. It draws on the experience of many of the world’s largest companies, and is aimed at a general audience rather than environmental specialists.
Chronos was developed by CPSL in partnership with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). It was designed by experts in sustainable development and it is also informed by best practice in corporate e-learning techniques. Chronos is available via the internet.
Covering sustainable development in three hours is not an easy task.
