The purpose of this study is to identify these problems, analyze the possible solutions but also the perspective of the population under study, since it is clear that for a project to fulfill its objective and be efficient, the population must be willing to adopt it and the solution must be as pertinent and precise as possible. For a better understanding and study, the project will begin with the analysis of the second SDG, its implementation and respective legal consequences, as well as the impact and participation of the private sector to achieve the proposed objectives. It will also be essential to study Cocorná, its population and main characteristics of everything related to the agricultural sector. The analysis of the methodologies and their application in the population under study will also be part of the work and this part of the research will require interviews and field research in order to obtain first hand information that will be relevant when examining the legal consequences that arise from the application of these tools. It is expected that this work will end with the conclusion that after studying how the impact and compliance of a soft law standard works, the legal consequences of implementing the methodologies studied will comply with what is highlighted in the second SDG in its section "promoting sustainable agriculture", it will be contributing to the achievement of a soft law standard.Ítem Implicaciones de aplicar estrategias de sostenibilidad en empresas medianas del sector agroindustrial(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Quiceno Cadavid, María Alejandra; Meneses Avella, Andrés Julián; Mesa White, JuanitaThe adoption of sustainable practices at the corporate level is a fundamental pillar for the development and long-term success of productive activities. In agriculture and agroindustry, these practices gain significant relevance, as these activities play an important role in the food supply chain, provide employment to more than one billion people, and generate more than $1.3 billion in food annually, according to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund). Globally, the urgency to address the climate crisis and consumer demands, driven by growing environmental awareness and challenges, constantly pushes the sector to maintain a state of continuous improvement and adopt sustainable approaches in its practices. Considering this, this document aims, through a case study, to diagnose the reality of medium- sized agricultural/agroindustrial companies in Colombia. Using qualitative interviews and content analysis, we will explore how the implementation of sustainable practices is reflected in the company's environmental, social, economic, or corporate governance development. Additionally, we will identify the benefits these strategies bring to operational efficiency, the quality of life of their employees, the well-being of local communities, and the environment. Specifically in Colombia, acquiring knowledge and experience to implement and manage sustainability programs is prioritized. Due to their characteristics, medium-sized agroindustrial companies have the resources and the purpose of expanding into new markets but lack the implementation of these systems or do not have their strategies properly documented to measure and communicate them. In conclusion, this study proposes, through a diagnosis and improvement plan based on a business case study, to identify the intersection between corporate responsibility, environmental management, and innovation in the agricultural and agroindustrial sector. The goal is to deeply understand the challenges and benefits linked to the transition towards sustainability and contribute to strategic decision-making in this sector, under the premise that sustainability is not an option but a necessity and the key to generating value and business survival.
