ABSTRACT
The objective of the work is to know the contributions that the social economy and corporate social responsibility can make in the search for solutions to the current health and economic crisis, in order to avoid its most traumatic effects. To this end, we analyze the variations that can occur in three scenarios: in social and responsible organizations, in the changes of values in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in the transformation towards new economic and business models. In this way, the existing favorable elements are reviewed, such as the role of companies against the effects of the pandemic, the important existing international consensus -the Ten Principles of the Global Compact and the 17 SDGs and the increased collective awareness of the importance of the public and the risks of the planet. The main contribution of the work is to propose possible strategies against the crisis, both at the macro and micro levels, on the basis that this unprecedented situation collects and stimulates pre-existing elements that now take on new dimensions. Methodologically, these proposals are generated in a debate where academic literature, examples of business actions, the results of surveys and in a outstanding way, the technique of documentary compilation and analysis of the discourse of experts in the field. Among the findings and conclusions, we should highlight the greater sensitivity towards the public and sustainability, as an element of development, and more receptivity towards a new business paradigm © 2023 CIRIEC-España
