Entre ellos, cabe destacar una cultura corporativa orientada a la sensibilidad social, una estrategia integrada en materia económica, social y ambiental, la regulación y la transversalidad de la comunicación como motor en estas prácticas. Finalmente, se exponen siete oportunidades y seis barreras en su implantación.
