Cartagena citizens believes that the City Council will not be entitled to apply to companies carrying out CSR actions if he does not implanted in their daily management.
Therefore, from Citizens we think this is a great opportunity to set an example of responsible management.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been typically linked to the private business sector.
However, the obvious influence of the public sector on economic, social and environmental areas has led to also consider the implementation of Corporate Responsibility in Public Administration.
Of all the existing government, the local governments are recognized a leading role in global sustainable development, through their proximity to citizens and stakeholders.
That is why so recently defined a specific concept of CSR for municipalities: Corporate Responsibility Public Local (CRFW), which involves the assumption of a culture of governance that meets the expectations of the economic, social groups and environmental.
The process of implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility in a particular institution in the development of the "Sustainability Report".
Cartagena citizens registered a motion calling for the implementation of corporate social responsibility through the development of the 'Sustainability Report'.

It shall also be tracking them, comparing them over time to observe their evolution.
Similarly, the policy issues that are most valued by citizens according to their social impact analyzes.
The fulfillment of the objectives of the institutional activity carried out and, in this way, their effectiveness would materialize are also assessed.
Citizens Cartagena Councilman Alfredo Nieto, explained that "when we talk about corporate social responsibility applied to a public institution, we are talking about creating wealth in the most effective manner possible, prioritize job creation, respect the environment avoiding any contamination, the correct use of water or respect for human rights in decent conditions of work. "
For the council, "if citizens take forward this motion succeeds at City Hall, we would propitiate many other municipalities to join this initiative. We want to lead this transformation to Cartagena responsible management of public resources."
In Spain there are 8,116 municipalities.
Of these, only fifty have made their "Sustainability Report".
In our region, no municipality has implemented CSR.
Consequently, we think that Cartagena should lead the Corporate Social Responsibility at the local level being the first to implement it in the region of Murcia.
