Abstract

The big data revolution is a challenge and opportunity for companies. In the ethics and social responsibility domain, big data, and the increasingly more accessible and versatile data processing technology, allow companies to open up new communication channels, and to collect accurate, detailed, and constantly updated information about: their economic, social, and environmental impacts; interests and legitimate expectations involved; trust, reputation, and affinity that they arouse in their stakeholders; and the effects that their actions and decisions cause, among many other things. The objective of this study is to present a system that monitors and fulfills ethics and social responsibility which, based on whistleblowing, communication, storage, and processing of big data, along with stakeholders´ committed participation, offers companies the chance to examine their moral and emotional responsibilities in order to be able to rise to what this historic time demands.
