About CSRFI

Who we are

CSRFI is a collaboration between two of the world’s leading CSR conference and consultancy firms, MHCi and TBLi. Certificate of completion, for our program, is offered by George Mason University in Washington DC. Our aim is to provide outstanding CSR and Finance training internationally.

What people say about us

These Testimonials largely come from the highly successful courses that Michael Hopkins directed at the University of Geneva over 2008-2013.  Michael recently left the U of Geneva to concentrate on bringing the messages developed in Geneva to a worldwide audience through CSRFI i.e. the courses you are reading about here.

What we stand for

We believe that the key to consistent success as an organisation now lies with the integration of financial and social goals.
