Abstract
The article aims to understand the contribution of female leadership in the formulation and implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies. A qualitative approach was adopted through interviews with fifteen leaders. The content analysis was conducted using Nvivo 12 software. The results show a multidimensional contribution of female leadership in CSR. In the social sphere, internal initiatives are highlighted - training, work-family-social life balance, equal opportunities, and externally - suppliers and community. Environmental management of resources and waste and environmental awareness were highlighted. Integration of stakeholders was crucial for the leaders. This is an exploratory study, and one of the few that reveals the contribution of female leaders in CSR. It offers an additional argument for the integration of women in top positions and definition of a policy of equal opportunities and results.
