Abstract

La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) propicia acciones en los ámbitos económico, social y ambiental derivando a obtener resultados favorables no solo para la empresa y la sociedad, sino también a responder y adoptar medidas para una gestión ambiental sostenible ante los efectos ocasionados por los procesos productivos. Con miras de identificar, resumir y analizar la implementación de la responsabilidad social empresarial hacia las prácticas ambientales en las empresas ecuatorianas durante el periodo 2017 al 2020, se analiza y sistematiza la información de 13 artículos de revistas indexadas en bases de datos de Scopus, ScienceDirect, Doaj, Dialnet y Google Académico, sobre los contextos de: Conocimiento y cumplimiento de la responsabilidad social empresarial, Dimensiones de la responsabilidad social empresarial hacia la gestión ambiental y Buenas prácticas ambientales. Los principales resultados demuestran que, al existir desconocimiento sobre la aplicación de la responsabilidad social empresarial, conduce a implementar estrategias que favorecen las prácticas económicas y sociales dejando a un lado las prácticas medioambientales. Se concluye en el compromiso que tienen las empresas en implementar prácticas que equilibren el crecimiento económico, bienestar social, uso racional de los recursos naturales y la preservación medioambiental.
