Detailed Description

Chronos is an e-learning tutorial on sustainable development that was developed by the University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

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. The objective of Chronos is to communicate the business case for sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR) as widely as possible, and the sustainability e-learning course is therefore offered at very low cost. 

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 has been developed by experts in sustainable development and it is also informed by best practice in corporate e-learning techniques. Its content – a mixture of information, video clips and interactive sessions such as role plays and quizzes engages and educates the learner simultaneously. Users have the opportunity to see how they would handle a variety of business sustainable development dilemmas. The English language version also contains a video welcome message by HRH The Prince of Wales.
