Responsible marketing is used in companies whose activities are socially responsible, and can be adjusted to public policies that provide a positive impact on society; for example, front nutritional labeling. Ecuador was a pioneer in Latin America in the mandatory implementation of the traffic light nutrition labeling (NTLL), to provide consumers with reliable information to counteract the generation of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) due to poor nutrition caused by the consumption of processed foods. For this reason, the purpose of this research was to analyze responsible marketing in the nutritional traffic light labeling (NTLL) of food products, from the perception of consumers in Cuenca, Ecuador. It was a cross-sectional research. The sample consisted of 384 surveys, determined by stratified random sampling. The Chi-square test (ꭓ 2) was performed, which showed the relationship between the variables knowledge of responsible marketing, with age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, income, expenses, understanding and use of the NTLL. On the other hand, the Ordinal Logit Model (OLM) was performed, which revealed that the variables that contribute to people's likelihood of a level of understanding of the NTLL, were education, labeling knowledge and marketing knowledge. Finally, the Binomial Logit Model (BLM) revealed that, the variables income level, knowledge of the ESN, diseases, trust in the NTLL, influence of COVID-19 on eating habits and marketing knowledge were variables that influenced people to have higher probabilities of using the NTLL. It is concluded that responsible marketing is present in the NTLL through the clear and understandable dissemination of information. However, it still needs to be consolidated towards more effective practices that guarantee the intake of healthy and quality products

Responsible marketing (RM) helps companies make products that improve people’s lives and is in line with public policies that provide a positive impact on society; an example of this is traffic light nutritional labelling (TLNL). Ecuador was a pioneer in Latin America in the mandatory implementation of TLNL. For this reason, this research aimed to analyze RM in the TLNL of food products from the perception of consumers in the urban area of Cuenca, Ecuador. Specifically, the research aimed to answer: What is the degree of consumer understanding of TLNL in the urban area of Cuenca, Ecuador? A cross-sectional investigation was undertaken, with 384 surveys conducted. A chi-square test (χ2) was performed, which showed the relationship between variables reflecting RM knowledge and the understanding and use of TLNL. An ordinal logit model (OLM) was applied, showing that the variables of education, knowledge of labeling, and knowledge of marketing were associated with a greater probability of having some level of understanding of TLNL. Finally, a binomial logit model (BLM) revealed that the variables of income level, knowledge of TLNL, illnesses, confidence in TLNL, the influence of COVID-19 on eating habits, and knowledge of marketing were associated with people being more likely to use TLNL. RM is present in the TLNL through the clear and understandable dissemination of information.
