One important factor we must keep in mind is that communities know when companies are "partnering or collaborating" with them as a means to an end. To avoid creating additional mistrust and reputational risk organizations (especially in communities the organization has never engaged with... until they felt the need to) must make long term commitments to community and participant as a partner instead of showing up with the checkbook and all the answers to community challenges.

Aquello que mejor construye la sustentabilidad son vínculos de valor que enriquecen a todos los actores por lo que sin dudas es perfecta para reconstruirlos en caso de reestructuración. Esa construcción depende de conocer en profundidad a la empresa con su nueva versión producto de la reestructuración -en primer lugar ya que todo lo que hagamos será en su nombre y construirá reputación y diferencial competitivo- y a cada stakeholder para descubrir cómo podemos brindarles valor de forma tal que los involucremos en el proceso y pongamos en evidencia los resultados para hacer cada vez más sólida y estrecha la relación. Esta forma de construir vínculo de valor logrará que seamos preferidos por la comunidad mejorando nuestra competitividad.

In my opinion, leveraging CSR to rebuild community ties starts with visible, meaningful action. For example, if restructuring affects local jobs, launch a skill-development program to support displaced workers. This demonstrates commitment to the community's well-being, fostering trust and goodwill during challenging times, while aligning with the company's values.
