Abstract

El presente estudio aborda nuevas evidencias de la relación entre las prácticas de responsabilidad social (RS) y el desempeno financiero de empresas ecuatorianas del sector químico-farmacéutico. La investigación tiene un componente mixto, en el que se recogieron experiencias y opiniones de expertos en el sector a través de grupos focales y se realizaron encuestas a gerentes de 88 empresas de las ciudades de Quito y Guayaquil, Ecuador. Se utilizaron métodos de ponderación para determinar un índice de RS basado en tres pilares: a) económico, b) social y c) pilar ambiental, que expliquen el nivel de implementación de prácticas socialmente responsables. También se emplearon la estadística descriptiva y las técnicas de correlación. Entre los resultados se destaca la relación positiva entre las dimensiones económicas y ambientales de la RS con el rendimiento sobre el capital (ROE) y la dimensión social de la RS con el rendimiento sobre las ventas (ROS).
