Sumario:This document analyzes the social and environmental responsibility of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Bogotá in order to identify the priorities of these organizations in relation to their contribution to the environmental and social improvement of the city. Corporate social and environmental responsibility should be understood as those responsible activities that go beyond compliance with business rules and legislation. Regardless of the size of the company, the lack of efficient social and environmental management can trigger problems such as the improper use of natural resources, environmental pollution, and low-quality jobs, among others. Data collected from surveys show that the SMEs located in Bogotá are concerned on Social and Environmental Responsibility, and carry out actions that they consider environmentally and socially responsible. However, they do not measure the impacts that their operation and commercialization generate, nor do they measure the impact of their social and environmental responsibility activities.
