Resumen
In a globalized, intercommunicate and interdependent world, the role played by en- terprises has been growing increasingly, having in some cases surpassed the budget of some states. Within this context, a more and more critical attitude in the international realm has emerged towards these enterprises as a result of the overwhelming con- sumption of resources and the impact of their activities on the future of the Earth. There emerged an important involvement of organisms, such as the UU.NN, OECD and ILO, to establish a guide for enterprises to join voluntarily. Over time, this new philosophy progressively became a norm in the form of responsibilities, in some cases through legal systems and, in others, through the codes of good governance of the most liable enterprises. It is in this sphere of willingness where the ESR works. On the continent, the European Union has envisaged the ESR as a process that can play an important role in the improvement of competitiveness, labor relationships, technology innovation and job creation, which are essential elements to overcome the economic crisis in which we find ourselves currently. Spain has been a leading country in ESR matters, having approved its strategy this past 24th of October. And the Guardia Civil, social referent by virtue of the trust it inspires in the citizenry, wants to join this new model to manage public affairs, submitting itself voluntarily to the management of its operations in sight of social demands, taking care of and respecting the environment, as well as intensifying its relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
