Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study the reliability and factor analysis of an instrument that allows evaluating the practices of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Innovation in large Mexican companies with the ESR® Distinction. It is integrated under the review of the relevant literature that addresses Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Innovation to later build the methodological matrix. Based on the methodological matrix, an instrument was developed with a 6-point Likert scale (in total disagreement, disagreement, indifferent, agreement, total agreement and does not apply) for a total of 65 items. The methodology is quantitative and with a transversal design that allows to obtain exploratory results. The instrument was applied via email to 172 companies that have the ESR® with a random sample selection strategy. The study was carried out in Mexico under the perception of people who collaborate in large companies with the ESR® Distinctive. The results show that the instrument reflects satisfactory reliability and acceptable factor analysis, which means that the proposed model explains corporate social responsibility and sustainable innovation.
