The evolution of the CSR movement was stimulated in large part by the reaction of laborers, environmental groups, consumers, human right activist, mobilized citizens, and so forth that had become disgruntled by the irresponsible actions of corporations, which affect daily both human and environmental life. The CSR movement reflects the fact that without an individual and concerted effort to confront a glaring problem, few corporations will adopt and implement effective CSR practices.

From this perspective, civil society members and organizations—which in Latin America have gradually introduced CSR as an essential topic for discussion—have begun to maintain an active account of corporate practices in order to properly monitor and evaluate the progressive realization of CSR. Civil society must continue to promulgate information and strategies that impel corporations to integrate CSR practices and likewise impel governments to adopt legislation and appropriate measures that respect CSR practices.
