Social responsibility has been a recent topic of discussion in Colombia. The case of Boyaca is still incipient, especially with regard to small businesses. This study aims to identify concepts and models given by different authors that provide parameters on corporate social responsibility and its dimensions, in order to analyze small businesses in the dairy industry, as this is a key element for the social and economic balance of such companies. The principal objective of this study is to analyze the current situation of the management of corporate social responsibility in dairy product manufacturers in Boyaca considering the dimensions of ethics and corporate governance, employment, suppliers and customers, the environment, government and society, and products and services while taking into account the existing literature on the subject. It was concluded that there has been little progress on the issue and there is need for the state government to implement policies to improve companies’ current practices.
