According to Global Findex in Ecuador, approximately, 46.2% of the Ecuadorian population over 15 years of age had an account in a formal financial institution in 2014. The objective of this study is the financial inclusion in the Ecuadorian private banking system based on sustainability reports of the year 2016. In the research, a methodology of documentary and descriptive research was used for the elaboration of the theoretical framework, while for the empirical study the methodological scheme of the transversal-type phenology was used and 4 financial institutions. The analyzed financial institutions present an instrumentalist approach to corporate social responsibility. The evidence suggests that, starting with the 2008 Constitution, a regulatory and institutional environment for financial inclusion has been formed. Finally, during 2016 there was an improvement in the use and access to financial products and services.
