The event was attended by companies such as Libelula, Partners Peru, Reply and the Arnao Tiravanti Bridge Studio. Its purpose was to show the current guidelines and trends in social responsibility and sustainable development, as well as the impact that these policies have on Peruvian companies today.
According to Carlos Salazar, executive director of Partners Peru, “companies have yet to emphasize human rights compliance in their social responsibility practices.”He stressed that today it is not enough to respect communities, but that policies must be developed that do not put people's rights at risk.
The participation of Jorge Melo Vega, general manager of Reply, He focused on the importance of citizenship, as well as on human rights, their evolution and current situation. As he mentioned Jorge Melo, The paradigms of social responsibility must be broken and companies must play a greater role in promoting and influencing CSR.

On the other hand, Jorge Adrianzén, lawyer of the Arnao Tiravanti Bridge Studio, explained that “Each company has its own policy and strategy for managing its relations with the communities. Nowadays, organizations must internalize how their actions in their relations with society are closely linked to their social responsibility activities.".
