Dear Colleagues,

We consider CSR as an important instrument that can be configured to help companies and public entities to improve the levels of economic, social, and environmental development. In this sense, CSR must be taken into account and used by the different stakeholders of our society such that all ensuing efforts can have a greater multiplier-effect and, thus, generate greater positive externalities from the economic, social, and environmental scope. Moreover, there is evidence to suggest that our current era demands the implementation and execution of changes in some paradigms of our social and economic model. This substantiates the claim that motivating researchers from different fields of knowledge to propose research that can generate greater ideas and solutions is one of the keys. Furthermore, those researchers will become an inspiration both for other researchers as well as for those responsible for the design of public and private policies on CSR and socially responsible territories.
