To be environmentally sustainable has become a challenge to be faced by companies, which is why accounting has extended its scope, including environment as a variable in financial information. In this context, this study is aimed at presenting an environmental cost-benefit analysis and the development of environmental accounting at a mining company located at the Ecuadorean province of Zamora Chinchipe. The methodology shows as a main results that financial information doesn’t include environmental aspects yet due to the limited legal framework and narrow scope of accounting in Ecuador.
