Extractivas en transformación por la resistencia territorial en Chile: Giro 3 V (Verdes, Veraces y Valorativas)

Abstract

Abstract: The article refers to the “relative” failure of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Chile, a context with territory-based conflicts, corporate scandals and socio political change. Cases on environmental, territorial and social movements against the current business model are studied.Through interviews to self-critical executives, a scheme to switch to company co-responsibility and sustainability agreed with the territory actors is proposed. The sustainability and co responsibility model proposed is called Companies 3V - for the three words in Spanish Veraces (Truthful) Verdes (green) and Valoradoras (Value-enabling). Truthful regarding information and tax payment disclosure, Green referring to the valued chain processes and their vocation to improve the environment; and conscious of the value of their employees (own and subcontracted) as well as of the value they can create for the communities in which they operate.
