Abstract

This case study is framed within the activities that the company Corporación Alimentaria Peñasanta, S.A. (CAPSA) has been implementing in terms of social sustainability and focuses on the Central Lechera Asturiana Women’s Race as a successful case of social marketing and intra- and intersectoral collaboration (SDG 17) aimed at strengthening the welfare of the female population to the extent that: (1) it aims to promote healthy lifestyle habits through the inclusion of women in the regular practice of sports (SDG 3), and (2) it combats gender-based violence, empowers women, and makes women’s potential visible in all areas (SDG 5, 10).
Since its inception, the objective of this race has been to encourage the participation of women of different ages, being, to date, the women’s sporting event with the highest participation in Europe. In addition to its dynamizing and transforming character, it has a solidarity dimension through monetary and in-kind donations and the sale of products in support of different social causes for the common good. In addition, communication campaigns are carried out throughout the year, through both traditional and digital media, to promote awareness of society in terms of welfare, preventative health, and equality.
