摘要：Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is understood as the willingness of companies of contributing in an active and voluntary way to improve the environmental, social and economic conditions of the society where it is inserted becoming a fundamental tool to move towards sustainable development. Due to the importance of CSR and the salmon aquaculture industry in Chile in the economic growth and development of the Los Lagos Region and the Chilean Patagonia, we built a CSR index for this economic sector taking into account the labor, environmental and local community areas. We used 11 indicators for three areas of CSR and we applied this indicator to two of the most important salmon aquaculture companies. The results show intermediate levels of CSR in both companies with differences between them in the three areas of analysis. We conclude that using available information it is possible to measure CSR and use an index of CSR to help companies to focus on the aspects of CSR that might be more problematic for each of them, providing guidance in benefit of sustainable development.
