Abstract

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar el fenómeno de la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) en el sector bancario español a través las memorias de responsabilidad social. Partiendo de la teorías de la legitimidad y de la teoría stakeholder se justifica el empleo de la RSC para analizar el comportamiento informativo sobre su entorno. Como metodología de estudio se emplea el análisis del contenido; en concreto se analizan y comparan las prácticas informativas en relación con 4 pilares sobre los que la RSC se organiza: clientes, comunidad, empleados y medio ambiente. En particular se propone un índice de contenido de responsabilidad (IDR) que mide la calidad y el detalle de la información suministrada. El estudio concluye que la información divulgada es heterogénea, y en particular las categorías comunidad y medio ambiente son las más divulgadas de modo general, si bien son las entidades de naturaleza social (cajas de ahorro y cooperativas de crédito) las más transparentes en cuanto a clientes y a comunidad se refiere. / The aim of this paper is to analyze the phenomenon of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the Spanish banking sector through social responsibility reports.
