Social Responsibility and Implementation Metolodogies

Perhaps in a globalized world, trends vary according to the course of days, and this is truly a challenge for companies, without excluding any sector, economic policies, technology, agriculture, finance, among others, all these factors affect companies by putting in check more than one; At personal discretion I consider that the "life" of the companies is determined as on a chess board and will only continue in the game if they choose their strategies thoroughly and use their pieces in their entirety and even taking them beyond.

In global economies, agriculture and negotiating power have always been present, starting with bartering until we reach what we know today as paper money, however every change that is presented is linked to causes that force the form that the form of thinking, managing and creating value within companies is different; entering not only in new technologies that are given according to the revolutionary changes that we have had, if not in sustainable practices, because many of the operations are pollutants of the environment and therefore companies have the commitment to generate contingency plans to stop These impacts, many of them simply contribute to the conservation of forest reserves, others are inclined to reuse materials, and many others to the improvement of industrial processes, it should be noted that each company refers to the most responsible technique with respect to its object Social.

However, it is necessary to recognize that the agricultural sector has been greatly abused by large companies, precisely because it is one of the most important bases of the economy and the demand required by the human population for their well -being, in Colombia the panorama is Discourar starting due to extremely high production costs, we have stopped being leaders in products such as coffee, flowers and bananas and importing more and more products that the country produces like barley, soybeans and corn, products that are really expensive in The international market.

Notwithstanding social responsibility, it is not compliant and its application is diverse regardless of the sector or company, and if social responsibility that mainly seeks is that its economic activity has added value and that it is aimed towards complying with the SDGs Development objectives Sustainable, what would happen if the CSR will focus its efforts in the agricultural sector?, Will Colombia be more competitive? Would the agricultural sector finally receive the attention it really deserves?. Simultaneously the transformation of this vision begins by understanding the philosophy of corporate social responsibility, taking into account that it must be contemplated as an investment but not as an expense.

 Howar Bowen, considered the father of social responsibility, defines corporate social responsibility as: “The obligations of businessmen to promote corporate policies to make decisions or to follow lines of action that are desirable in terms of the objectives and values ​​of society ”, All this leads not only to the achievement of the company’s objectives, but also allows the decrease in economic problems and permanence to the market.

It is interesting to contemplate basic business and ethical policies, strategies that give faith to the transparency of the company, paying the accounts that are necessary, without makeup reports, even when it is pertinent to have the basic resources for the strengthening of the activity, for many companies From this sector it is difficult to access a model of sustainable management indicators, which presents an overview of the company, in order to establish action plans or improvement, for each of the shortcomings that according to the model are They identified.

In Latin America, regional initiatives have been promoted, which are related or promoted corporate social responsibility, shortly after the Business for Social Responsibility (organized in San Francisco in 1997), the company network emerged an alliance that within its main goals is have subsidiaries in each of the countries of America . This organization to carry out its objective relies on institutional strengthening helping the development of local organizations that promote the issue of CSR. Work and collaboration networks facilitate the interaction between entrepreneurs, NGOs, governments, academia and multilateral organizations to develop collaboration in social and environmental issues promoting the concepts of RSC. Education and information exchange by disseminating information about policies, programs and tools to help companies understand and implement social responsibility practices. 

Additionally, this company within its methodology uses the Knowledge Management, in order to systematize information for each of the members and thus be able to project and anticipate possible changes within its environment and topics such as responsible marketing and business ethics, are some of The issues discussed internationally. Other initiatives in America are World Business Council for Sustainable Development (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) and the United Nations Pact. These are some examples that are focusing their efforts to create value and the common and social good; There are many of the countries that are members or perhaps they are in the process of being, as was the case of Argentina that when in 2001 it crossed a serious economic crisis, it became a means to promote social conscience, which leads us Once again to affirm that corporate social responsibility is an integral part of the change .
