This study aims to describe the corporate social responsibility actions implemented in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample comprises such corporations as Arcor, Banco de Crédito e Inversiones, and Corporación Favorita, corresponding to Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. The research methodology was based on a qualitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental design. The study conducted documentary analyses of the annual reports of these companies, ranked among the top CSR in the Merco Ranking. As a result, it was determined that the corporations carried out actions aimed at the economic dimension, with 36% in terms of equitable economic retribution to employees and 41% in terms of their recognition through incentives. Likewise, the social dimension showed that 57% of the company’s actions were aimed at collaborative support to foundations that ensured educational and health factors. On the other hand, the environmental dimension focused 69% of its activities on renewable energies as part of a policy of reducing pollutants. Finally, it can be concluded that CSR actions during the COVID-19 pandemic were used to ensure corporate stability through a range of activities with a socioeconomic and environmental focus without neglecting the strengthening of its corporate reputation.
