Responsabilidades adquiridas y sanciones en los procesos de regulación, control y seguimiento ambiental

Abstract

The productive and commercial activities must have responsible and sustainable processes for environmental care, considering that today the need for a healthy environment for a better quality of life for society becomes evident. However, the reality is different, there is evidence of a higher degree of environmental pollution, for which environmental legal regulations have been created to increase the sustainable culture of companies and people in general. In Ecuador there are laws that seek to protect the environment, for which the responsibilities that individuals have against the environment caused by their business activities are exposed, for which the regulation, control and monitoring processes are also determined to apply economic sanctions in case of evidence of some degree of contamination. The objective is to define the environmental responsibilities acquired by the companies and the sanctions in the regularization processes in case of non-compliance. The applied research was descriptive and documentary to access the legal regulations in force in the country that seek to protect the environment.
