Abstract
This study examines the interplay between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), compliance with labor regulation, and the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the day-to-day management of Ecuadorian companies. Based on a survey administered to 102 organizations and statistical analysis procedures, differentiated levels of commitment were identified across the three axes, along with limited convergence among them. Findings indicate that the normative component associated with labor law compliance shows a stronger relationship with labor sustainability, while voluntary CSR initiatives display more heterogeneous effects and lower degrees of alignment with the SDGs. Advancing toward an effective articulation of these three pillars requires coordinated strategies, verifiable indicators, and monitoring mechanisms that connect voluntary commitments to observable labor outcomes.
