Abstract: We are the first generation that has felt the effects of climate change and perhaps the last one that has the capacity to do something about it. High exposure to natural disasters has increased the vulnerability of some key sectors of the economy such as agriculture, water resources and tourism. The loss of plant species due to the alteration or replacement of plant formations would cause the extinction of animal species due to the lack of ecosystem structures that would prevent the segregation of habitats. These and other problems associated with climate change have become priority issues for the Ecuadorian government. In 2009, adaptation and mitigation of climate change was declared a State Policy. The Ecuadorian constitution in force since October 2008, assigns special and preferential treatment to the environment and its legal protection, making it significantly sensitive; Even within the code of criminal procedures, crimes against the environment and cultural heritage are contemplated. A comprehensive training in finance, not only seeks economic development, focuses on the ability to generate wealth over time. We cannot be indolent before the destruction of our planet because of pursuing a lucrative end. The objective of this project is to analyze how an entity would benefit economically from the implementation of eco-efficiency strategies including carbon neutrality. Being eco-efficient does not necessarily mean being more expensive, on the contrary, it is a process that optimizes resources and reduces waste. However, it continues to be related to spending causing resistance in companies towards its implementation despite generating a saving of resources This demonstrates the need to evaluate how the adoption of these practices would have an economic impact on the entities, determining if there is indeed a cost savings for efficiency that justifies the investment and therefore encourages implementation.
Description: El presente proyecto responde a la importancia de proteger el ecosistema donde el ser humano se desenvuelve considerando que se obtienen del entorno los recursos que garantizan la supervivencia, generan ingresos y contribuyen así al desarrollo económico de la población. Los efectos de la contaminación pueden ser irreversibles; por ello entidades públicas y privadas han adoptado iniciativas para proteger el ambiente, alineando sus estrategias y operaciones a mitigar su impacto en el ecosistema; sin embargo, cada año las emisiones antropogénicas de CO2 aumentan significativamente, siendo el objetivo del proyecto analizar cómo beneficiaría económicamente a una entidad la adopción de prácticas ambientalmente responsables, lo cual podría contribuir además a la promoción de éstas, entre ella la carbono neutralidad. El estudio finaliza tomando como base a una entidad para conocer el impacto económico que genera en una entidad el adoptar las prácticas mencionadas, mostrando una reducción significativa de emisiones de gases de invernadero, mayor eficiencia en la utilización de recursos, reducción de costos y un ahorro de $ 84.073 anuales con una inversión inicial de $ 81.960 recuperable al segundo año.
