Abstract

Introduction: Since the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainable development and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are one of the main strategic trends in public relations (PR). Our research objectives are to identify whether the PR consultancies make their offer of specialized CSR services visible, and to verify their own commitment in the issue. Methodology: We have analyzed the websites of 50 communication consultancies that operate in Spain, based on the reference ranking of the magazine El Publicista (2022 edition) and 66 CSR campaigns. Quantitative and qualitative content analysis has been applied, with the variables analyzed being: type of consultant, CSR services offered, CSR case studies shown, own CSR actions implemented, and professionals specialized in CSR. Results: Results show that there is still a large number of agencies that do not offer CSR specific services (58%) nor do they have specialized professionals in the field (only 12%). In turn, the 43 CSR case studies developed for their clients prove their growing ability to convince promoters (current and potential clients) about the positive impact of CSR on organizational reputation. Discussion: However, the PR sector itself does not demonstrate the same level of commitment, given that the implementation of own CSR actions in the industry is still a minority phenomenon (34%, and 23 CSR campaigns), although it is true that it can serve as an incentive for other agencies to follow this path. Conclusions: It has been verified that in many of the CSR campaigns, one of the strategies recommended from the PR discipline regarding CSR communication is applied: linking the CSR action with the activity of the promoter, being it the client or the PR agency itself adopting pro-bono collaboration strategies with non-profit entities.
