Companies large and small have come to recognise the importance of a holistic approach that writes sustainable practice into the company&#8217;s DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running a business is no longer simply a matter of value for money. Today, <strong>sustainability plays a crucial part<\/strong> in a company&#8217;s reputation and in its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corporate social responsibility in a company&#8217;s DNA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth noting that this approach is not confined to large corporations: small and medium-sized enterprises equally recognise the <strong>importance of reputation and governance management<\/strong> as an integral part of their success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cIt is essential to work on triple-benefit strategies at leadership level: environmental, social and governance,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> says <strong>Garc\u00eda Mart\u00edn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Governance takes on particular importance here, since communication that is authentic and genuinely committed to CSR and sustainable development is essential if a company is not to be seen as merely engaging in \u201c<em>greenwashing<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>bluewashing<\/em>\u201d. Working on triple-benefit strategies that further sustainable development has therefore become fundamental to success and to maintaining a solid corporate reputation, in smaller companies as much as anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cThe rules of the game are constantly changing: the environment, society, the regulatory framework, customer expectations, and more,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> the president and founder of <strong>CMI Business School<\/strong> emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CMI Business School: a commitment to CSR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fully aware of the importance of <strong>CSR and sustainable development<\/strong> in today&#8217;s business landscape, <strong>CMI Business School has built that perspective into the core of its business education<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From young \u201cjunior\u201d students to experienced professionals looking to sharpen their practice, the institution offers practical and executive master&#8217;s programmes covering management techniques aimed at maximising positive impact and reducing risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cWith a faculty made up of successful professionals, most of them holding doctorates, all the cutting-edge knowledge that companies and organisations need today, locally and globally, is applied with scientific rigour.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>CMI<\/strong>, teaching is tailored to <strong>each student&#8217;s individual needs<\/strong>, equipping them to take on responsible leadership in a business world that grows more demanding all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>You can read the full interview (in Spanish) <a href=\"https:\/\/cmi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Corporate-Junio-entrevista-Rafael-Garcia-Marin.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bottom-Newsletter-Noticias-web-1024x427.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16299\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cGrowth and progress are sharper where authentic, values-based leadership steers the organisation towards positive impact\u201d Revista Corporate interviewed Rafael Garc\u00eda Mart\u00edn, president and founder of CMI Business School, for its June 2023 issue, exploring his outlook and his experience in the management of corporate reputation, good governance, and how corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":390,"featured_media":4154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[209],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-coverage"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/390"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
