The nucleus of an organization operates thanks to internal human resources. However, there are other groups of individuals (suppliers, community, contractors, and company employees), that contribute to the good and optimum function of the same. When we integrate these groups into our value chain, the social component becomes an ally in the organization and that is why we speak of a Corporate Social Responsibility management system.
