Resumen
Kerigma es una pyme costarricense de comunicación y branding que reconoce la
importancia de la responsabilidad social y que, a través de los años, había realizado
esfuerzos para incorporarla dentro de su gestión por medio de iniciativas en las tres
dimensiones de la sostenibilidad. Pese a esto, la empresa no contaba con un análisis de sus
impactos ni un proceso estructurado de consulta a sus partes interesadas, por lo cual, no
poseía suficientes insumos para identificar en cuáles temas debía estar enfocando sus
esfuerzos en responsabilidad social o si los que realizaba respondían a sus temas materiales.
Por no contar con este insumo, la empresa no había desarrollado una estrategia de
responsabilidad social alineada a su estrategia de negocios, por lo cual, existía la
posibilidad de que estuviera destinando recursos a trabajar temas que no respondían a sus
impactos o a las expectativas de sus partes interesadas y podía estar dejando desatendidos
otros temas que sí son críticos.
Con el presente proyecto se realizó un análisis de materialidad para Kerigma y, con
base en esto, se creó una estrategia de responsabilidad social alineada a las necesidades de
la empresa y a su estrategia de negocio. Esta estrategia permitirá a Kerigma aumentar su
competitividad y convertirse en una mejor aliada en sostenibilidad para clientes y otras
partes interesadas, así como en una guía para otras pymes y empresas de comunicación que
deseen trabajar de forma estratégica el tema de la responsabilidad social.
Kerigma is a Costa Rican communication and branding SME that recognizes the importance of social responsibility and that, over the years, had made efforts to incorporate it into its management through initiatives in the three dimensions of sustainability. Despite this, the company did not have an analysis of its impacts or a structured process of consultation with its stakeholders, so it did not have sufficient input to identify on which issues it should be focusing its social responsibility efforts or whether the efforts it was making responded to its material issues. Because it did not have this input, the company had not developed a social responsibility strategy aligned with its business strategy, so there was a possibility that it was allocating resources to work on issues that did not respond to its impacts or the expectations of its stakeholders and could be leaving other critical issues unattended. With this project, a materiality analysis was conducted for Kerigma and, based on this, a social responsibility strategy was created, aligned with the needs of the company and its business strategy. This strategy will allow Kerigma to increase its competitiveness and become a better ally in sustainability for clients and other stakeholders, as well as a guide for other SMEs and communication companies that wish to work strategically on the issue of social responsibility.
