Abstract
The 2030 Agenda implies an important commitment that should be achieved by companies, countries, and governments, and the goals set should be worked on with the aim to boost the areas they address. Corporate social responsibility is a tool for organizations to act on behalf not only of the public but also of all stakeholders, as affirmed by the stakeholders' theory. Given the interest the stakeholders have in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, it is important to observe the attitudes and behaviors that the organizations develop to achieve their intended contribution. This chapter analyzes the companies´ attitudes and behaviors developed to fulfill five SDGs (from 1 to 5). The study is focused on the content analysis of the corporate social responsibility reports of 16 car manufacturing companies. At the end, the authors propose some future lines of research.
