In 2018, the Spanish Association of Social Responsibility Professionals (DIRSE) presented the joint study with Llorente & Cuenca: "The role of dirse (Spanish acronym for CSR and Sustainability Directors) of the new company and the challenges for which its CEOs are preparing”.
The study, which is available in Spanish (here), has had the participation of 20 Spanish CSR/Sustainability senior managers with an extensive background within the sector and includes an analysis of trends based on national and international legislation and reports.
The main conclusions of the study are that the director of CSR / Sustainability gains influence and approaches the business model due to the growing demands of stakeholders. They will be soon pushed to one side, recent debates such as the name that should be given to the area or the location it should have within the organization, to move on to focus on how to promote the transformation of companies from "how things are done", seek alliances and identify new trends.
