Abstract

This research aims to know the applicability of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in companies that develop their activities with non-renewable resources (mining of aggregates for construction). This research will contribute to the analysis of this subject at the local level since there is not enough information in reference to companies under this business model. For this, the self-diagnosis instrument developed by the Chihuahuan business foundation FECHAC will be used. In addition, it seeks to know the perception of senior management about the competitive advantages that CSR provides to these companies that develop in the mining of aggregates for construction. To achieve these objectives, a case study of the company MEGAROK S.A located in the province of Manabí was carried out. A quantitative-qualitative analysis was developed to find a correlation of the variables studied in this research. It should be noted that it is necessary to develop a CSR measurement instrument that is applicable to local companies under this business model.
