Empresability, Sustainability & Social Responsibility Movement

What Empresability, Sustainability & Social Responsibility Movement does

Empresability, legally the Movimiento Iberoamericano de Responsabilidad Social, is a membership-based sustainability and social-responsibility movement founded in 2019 and headquartered in Mexico City. It connects sustainability, ESG, and corporate social responsibility (RSE) professionals, corporate members, social organizations, academics, and senior leaders across 18 countries in Latin America and Spain under a shared Manifiesto of 10 principles and 12 conscious-leadership competencies that over 5,000 leaders have publicly signed. The platform's core product is a nine-level Ruta de Transformaci\u00f3n Profesional Consciente that takes members from Explorer to Systemic Transformation Agent, anchored by verifiable digital credentials displayed on LinkedIn, an annual VII Congreso Iberoamericano de Responsabilidad Social y Sostenibilidad, an immersive Misi\u00f3n Empresability, monthly Caf\u00e9 con Expertos sessions, specialized forums such as MujeRESponsables, and a project marketplace.

The revenue model is built on tiered subscriptions sold primarily through the Empresability website. A freemium open-community tier requires Manifesto adhesion; the professional transformation tier is priced at $15/month or $150/year; the ESG Leader enterprise tier is $3,000/year; and social organizations pay $1,000/year, with discounted annual billing and promotional offers observed across tiers. Enterprise sales are conducted via scheduled consultation calls, while individual memberships are largely self-service. Supporting revenue streams include professional certification and credentialing, training (e.g., the ABC de la RSE foundational course), the Empresability Radio podcast, and pro-bono volunteering through the S\u00famate al Movimiento program.

Underlying technology is intentionally minimal: Empresability operates on standard web platforms (comunidad.empresability.org) for community, course delivery, forums, and event registration rather than proprietary infrastructure. There is no public API, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI/ML capability. The organization is privately held, bootstrapped, and operating without external funding rounds or acquisitions, with no disclosed patents, trademarks, partnerships, or regulatory actions. Growth and engagement are driven primarily by content marketing, social media (LinkedIn, X, YouTube), newsletters, events, and member word-of-mouth.
