New Online Course on Corporate Taxation and Sustainability

The course will complement CSR Europe's service offer to companies that want to develop and implement responsible and transparent tax behaviour.

CSR Sweden and Lund University, in collaboration with CSR Europe, have developed the first-ever online course on Corporate Taxation and Sustainability. The course will take place from 6th September - 15th November 2021.

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE

This course is designed for professionals working in and around the tax function, as well as sustainability officers within multinational companies. The course is conducive to both individual and group participation, and where possible and relevant, it is highly encouraged for colleagues from both tax and sustainability to engage in the course together.

EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, professionals will be able to:

Link the implications of corporate taxation to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Critically and constructively reflect on the company’s current alignment of CSR with its approach to taxation.
Evaluate options and opportunities in their company role for promoting responsible taxation and contributing to the overall sustainable performance of the company.
Explore how to further align their business strategy and operations towards a more responsible and transparent tax behaviour through CSR Europe’s services and support on tax.

MAKING RESPONSIBLE AND TRANSPARENT TAX BEHAVIOUR THE NEW NORMAL

This new course will complement CSR Europe’s service office for companies interested in aligning their business strategy and operations to the growing expectations of the investment community towards responsible tax behaviour as a component of Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) factors.

In our Blueprint for Responsible and Transparent Tax Behaviour, created in collaboration with PwC Netherlands, we outlined how companies can:

Embed responsible and transparent tax behaviour in the company’s overarching sustainability strategy via their CSR and Sustainability Managers.
Seamlessly recalibrate and align the role of the tax function both internally and externally via their Tax Managers.

Building on the success of the Blueprint, companies can now take advantage of the Tax Service to do a complete makeover of their tax strategy approach.

The service includes:

Completion of our Responsible Tax Behaviour Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Assessment of your company’s approach to tax and tailored support to engage internal stakeholders in building the business case for corporate tax responsibility.
Engagement of external stakeholders to develop and strengthen your company’s reporting processes.

The service is also available for National Partner Organisations (NPOs) interested in changing the tax culture in the business community of their country.
