On October 18, Roberto J. Ramos Casas, Vice President of Business Development and Competitiveness at Coparmex, led a talk at the “Conversation on Corporate Social Responsibility” which was aimed at companies in the context of the Juventus MX project.

The presentation given at the Conversation highlighted the importance of encouraging the strengthening of Socially Responsible Companies, facilitating the exchange of tools and strategies that allow companies to fulfill their mission within a corporate culture that promotes human rights and inclusion, identifying opportunities for collaboration between different sectors to improve quality employment opportunities for young people in the capital city; articulating the offer of services from public institutions, organizations and governments, to respond to situations that affect young people.

The proposal put forward to achieve this is through the construction of programs and plans that underline and/or highlight the needs of young people for full employability; and the participation of previously coordinated bodies and organizations that respond to these needs.

The most important points that were presented by the participants were the following general aspects:

• To make visible the potential of young people within the framework of employability and self-development.
• Raise awareness among officials and institutions of the need to create opportunities for working with young people.
• Develop the human capabilities (work and technical) of young people to boost their efficiency and productivity and its reflection in companies in these areas.
• Standards and metrics on labor competency in order to adapt appropriate educational training to training and capacity building in accordance with market requirements.
• Retention and attraction of talent, even in those areas compatible with the academic training of young people.
• Actions to promote entrepreneurship among young people, with the participation and/or alliances with the country's business sector.
• Contribute to the knowledge of their rights in order to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
• Involve companies in ensuring the health and emotional well-being of employees.
• Promote hybrid and flexible work strategies, especially those focused on young women.
• Formulate a new narrative and dynamic aimed at social development and the promotion of human rights for young people.
• Supporting the processes of involving young people in their insertion into the labor market with the aim of monitoring their growth and development in a productive, remunerated, productive and responsible activity.
