This article analyzes the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in foreign trade operating companies and how it becomes a critical factor for competitive and sustainable success. It is based on a recent literature review (2020–2025) and a descriptive-analytical approach. Emerging trends are identified, such as the demand for transparency in the supply chain, sustainability, measurable impact, and corporate reputation. In addition, it examines how CSR contributes to reputation, talent retention, access to international markets, and resilience. It is concluded that integrating CSR as part of the strategic model strengthens the position of these companies in a complex and demanding global environment.
