CBI – Natural Ingredients Export Coaching Program

We have been the local consultant for the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI – Netherlands) in the Export Coaching Program for Natural Ingredients for Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals in South Africa. In particular we were responsible for the integration of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into the Export Coaching program, conducting CSR Audits for 20 companies, and developing action plans and supporting the implementation. We developed a CSR training program to increase capacity of companies to comply with national legislation and international market requirements and coached companies to develop CSR strategies as part of their Export Marketing Plans through both onsite and distance guidance.
