Abstract

The international standard ISO 26000 provides guidelines for integrating Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, and establishing management strategies and best practices, by taking into consideration the impact on stakeholders, society, and environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation level of this standard in small-sized companies that belong to the metal mechanic industry in the Department of Caldas, Colombia. A descriptive research based on information reported by managers using a structured survey is performed. High levels of inclusion of the CSR principles and core subjects were detected. However, gaps were evident in the integration of CSR throughout the organization, in communication strategies and engagement with stakeholders.
