How far we can reach tomorrow?y We have always thought that we should not reinvent the wheel, but now it is

necessary. Each of us should be wondering how to do it capitalizing on the past

and creating new scenarios.

y The social situation and lack of public services characterizing the region show

that, so far, nothing significant has been achieved. It is necessary take furthersteps so that CSR develops its transforming potential. There are new tools, but

they dont seem to be enough to generate such changes since it is complex to alter

values and the rules of the game, both social and business ones, and that it is a

task that takes time.

y What has been achieved at a micro level has not been taken to scale. There are

punctual projects where it is clear the positive impact on the quality of life of a

specific population. Now we have to multiply it.


12/14

Continuedy The path of change is marked by global agents like inter-governmental

organizations, transnational corporations and civil society. Accordingto the document from Global Scenario Group (GSG), The great

transition: the promise and lure of the times ahead, and a global lesstangible fourth agent: the publics awareness about the need for achange, and the dissemination of values prioritizing quality of life,human solidarity and environmental sustainability.

y At an individual level, it is about the advance towards citizens aware oftheir responsibility in their different roles they play: in their family,like users and consumers, like clients, like workers, like businesspeople.


13/14

Continuedy The pending challenges cannot be considered a limiting factor; on the

contrary they represent opportunities, fertile ground where we should

sow with support and incentive, mostly based on the experiences that

are part of this movement and its potential contributions totransformation.

y Companies have the resources, the acquired tools and the knowledge tobe active participants in this process.

y Quality of life has to do with companies, but above all, with thesystem. We have to work together to bring about a change in theexisting system. This is a pending issue to really achieve a socialtransformation and sustainable development.
