La responsabilidad social empresarial y las memorias de sostenibilidad: caso Ecuador.

Abstract

Companies must recognize the importance of systematizing the links between economic, social and environmental aspects. The general objective of this research is: To determine how Ecuadorian companies approach Corporate Social Responsibility and the preparation of Sustainability Reports to make the sustainable management of their organization transparent to their main stakeholders. The research carried out is descriptive. The method used will be qualitative and in some cases through the use of quantitative methods. To carry out the analysis of social responsibility in companies in Ecuador and about the implementation of sustainability reports, it is important to know the context in which they operate. Ecuador is a country that is currently in the middle stage of development where it is highly dependent on the exploitation of non-renewable natural resources, but still has great potential for development due to its natural wealth and the great diversity that exists in the country. The alternative solution is the fact that companies find benefits in the publication of sustainability reports or reports. Today companies are increasingly in the spotlight for the impact they generate on communities and their territories. We are witnessing a growing demand for greater transparency regarding non-financial information from civil society, regulatory bodies, socially responsible investors, international organizations, and also from national and international legislation.
