An SME has already been working on CSR issues, but cannot find a way to communicate, in a systematic way, its commitment, its actions, as well as its achievements and progress on relevant CSR issues.
For this reason, it has decided to prepare its Sustainability Report, which has allowed it to give greater visibility to its strategy, be able to disseminate it, and achieve recognition from its main interest groups. Being one of the first companies in its sector and size, it has achieved greater recognition for its efforts.
