Abstract This paper analyses the socioeconomic factors that influence the disclosure of sustainability information on 99 local government websites in 2018 in countries that make up the Pacific Alliance (PA) in Latin America, associated with internal and external demands that public entities have for accountability in social and environmental issues. We use as methodology a content analysis of the sustainability information disclosed by local entities on their websites and a regression of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). This article shows empirical evidence that the size, budget capacity and the economic level of the municipality are factors associated with the sustainability disclosure on websites, due to internal and external factors impacting the decisions and actions taken by the entities related to the sustainability and its disclosure. These results are important for academic and technical discussions in a region with specific characteristics, different from most of the countries studied in previous literature on the subject. Este trabajo analiza los factores socioeconómicos que influyen en la divulgación de información sobre sostenibilidad en 99 sitios web de gobiernos locales en 2018 en países que conforman la Alianza del Pacífico (AP) en América Latina, y que están asociados con demandas internas y externas que tienen las entidades públicas para la rendición de cuentas en materia social y medioambiental. Se realizó un análisis de contenido de la información de sostenibilidad divulgada por las entidades locales en sus sitios web y una regresión de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (MCO). Este artículo muestra evidencia empírica de que el tamaño, la capacidad presupuestaria y el nivel económico del municipio son factores asociados con la divulgación de sostenibilidad en los sitios web, por factores internos y externos que inciden en las decisiones y acciones que toman las entidades asociadas con la sostenibilidad y su divulgación. Estos resultados son importantes para las discusiones académicas y técnicas en una región con características específicas, diferentes de la mayoría de los países estudiados en la literatura previa sobre el tema.
