HARO DE ROSARIO, Arturo; SARAITE, Laura; CABA, Carmen  and  GALVEZ RODRIGUEZ, María del Mar. Latin American oil and gas corporations and the sustainability. Tec Empre. [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.1, pp.39-49. ISSN 1659-3359.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18845/te.v10i1.2533.

The oil and gas sector is a strategic area of the economy with global repercussions. This industry faces a major handicap, namely the characteristics of the regions in which it operates, which are often geographic areas of great bioclimatic importance, or inhabited by indigenous populations, or comprised of very low income rural sectors. In response, stakeholders are paying ever greater attention to the social, natural and economic consequences of oil and gas sector activities.

Taking into consideration that Latin American countries possess the largest conventional oil reserves in the world, this paper aims to quantify the sustainability information disclosed voluntarily by oil and gas companies operating in Latin America

Keywords : Sustainability; social responsibility; transparency; disclosure.
