CSR & Sustainable Firms
Instilling a profound sense of social purpose
At IESE we have always believed that corporate social purpose is broader than traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and encompasses how the core business delivers positive economic, social, and environmental impact in the world.
Fulfilling a true social purpose requires action across the entirety of the business, such as: human rights of the supply chain and vendors; diversity in areas such as hiring, training, and pay equity; treating employees properly; safeguarding the environment through strong compliance and sound practices; supporting communities through educational, recreational and cultural activities, advocacy of human rights, and fair labor practices.
IESE is a member of the United Nations Global Compact and a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).
Our Goal
To instill a profound sense of social purpose in our participants so that they introduce the necessary changes within their firms, which will have a positive impact on all stakeholders.
What We Do
- Raise awareness about real social responsibility through the company, including employees, suppliers, customers and communities.
- Develop frameworks and tools that help management teams understand the importance of all stakeholder interests and improve the dialogue with them.
- Collaborate with third-sector and other institutions to connect them with businesses.
