Finally, she stated that “The main objective of CSR is to contribute to sustainability”.

Pierre Ianni is an Industrial Engineer who works as Industrial Director at PSA Peugeot Citroen for Latin America. His presentation was about the importance in business of generating relationships in order to encourage and improve the performance of employees. “This implies a managerial renovation that needs companies to remember that they are also a human community with people linked by values, a vision and shared projects, as well as by feelings and emotions”.

She highlighted as essential the role social enterprises must achieve in order to find a solution for short and long term issues, emphasizing in how governments should promote these social enterprises policies.
“The fact that exists a social goal becomes the project financially and economically sustainable. A social investor will get his money back (it’s not a donation), they have to take care for the environment and wages should be competitives as in other companies”.
