Abstract

The convergence between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the 2030 Agenda, in conjunction with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is of considerable significance in the Ecuadorian context. Within this framework, a paradigmatic metamorphosis is pursued aimed at promoting sustainable progress, encompassing the social, economic and environmental domains. Such an approach entails a joint venture of heterogeneous actors, where the State, civil society, academic entities and business entities, both in the public and private spheres, play a significant representative role for their reputation and corporate image. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the situation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Ecuador, in the context of the 2030 Agenda. To achieve this purpose, a qualitative methodological approach has been adopted, supported by a meticulous and systematic review. of relevant documents, theories and normative frameworks. The results of this investigation show a notable growth in the interest of Ecuadorian companies in fulfilling their social responsibilities and, at the same time, contributing to the promotion of sustainable development, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established at a global level.
