6. Some open questions
Is the application of CSR equality values the explanation of good results in vertical diversity under so different models and economic sectors?
How important is for women career to have the choice to opt in a early professional stage for being part of a manager profile group?
Which elements lie on vertical diversity success from a CSR management system based in no formalized processes?
Could more detailed CSR equality indicators help to make a better diagnosis of women career path?
How could the CSR approach to gender equality be improved?
Must CSR be placed at the centre of the agenda for gender equality?
