These interviews, will enable to collect different views, highlighting those areas needing for greater improvement.
It is important to achieve this feedback, because it allows to identify new stakeholders and reveal new expectations. We must recall that the CSR practices are actions destined to meet the interests of stakeholders, therefore it is essential to constantly measure its evolution and integrate the changes needed in the CSR plan.

Finally, all these intangibles, are comprised in the Unilever Plan for a Sustainable Life through the value of sustainability, which is configured as the maximum value of the company.
Phases of the CSR management process 4. In this sense, the company differentiates between beneficiary and collaborator stakeholders. Beneficiaries refer to those towards whom the company addresses its CSR actions consumers, employees, suppliers [Agraz], the local community [municipality of Viladecans] and the society in general , while collaborators are those who participate in the management of CSR of the company, generating a win-win relationship between both non-profit organizations, collaborator companies, public administration, distributors and media.
Once the different stakeholders have been identified, the company evaluates their needs and expectations, this is how CSR actions are focused on improving the wellbeing of employees are adapted to the particular characteristics of Spain or the sustainable agriculture global plan is adapted to the needs of the Extremadura supplier Agraz, derived from the particularities of the farming of tomato and the soil it is planted like a correct irrigation or the control of specific plagues.

For the design of these actions the company has a series of collaborators and a Sustainability Committee constituted by a multidisciplinary team of 20 individuals that represent almost all areas of the company communication, sales, supply, finance, etc.
Regarding external collaborators, their role in the design of actions such as the application of sustainable farming performed with Agraz is outstanding, aware about the characteristics of the farming of tomato with whom there is a joint work in the program of detection of the optimum amount of fertilizers to be used on soil.
