El proyecto que se expone a continuación consiste en la creación de un Huerto Urbano Comunitario. Los criterios en los que se sustenta son; la soberanía alimentaria, el desarrollo comunitario y la sostenibilidad. Se pretende con él que los participantes adquieran formación y conciencia crítica sobre los modos de producción y consumo agrícola. Para ello se estimulará la implicación mediante dinámicas de grupo, charlas, proyecciones, excursiones, debates, etc. Sin olvidarnos en ningún momento del trabajo manual y todas las acciones necesarias para la creación del propio huerto.

This paper aims to investigate companies' environmental, social, governance (ESG), and financial implications of their commitment to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). The focus is placed on companies operating in the three countries with the highest number of UNGC participants: Spain, France, and Japan. The results clearly reveal that adoption of the UNGC often requires an organizational change that fosters stakeholder engagement, ultimately resulting in improvements in companies' ESG performance. Additionally, the results reveal that ESG performance has a significant impact on financial performance for companies that adopted the principles of the UNGC. These findings provide both non-financial and financial incentives to companies to commit to this voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative, which will have important implications on companies' strategic management policies that aim to foster sustainable businesses and community development. Finally, the linkages between the UNGC-committed companies' ESG and financial performance may be influenced by geographical spread, mainly due to the appearance of differences in the institutional, societal, and cultural settings.
