Abstract

Corporate social responsibility is the known and commonly practiced antecedent of large companies, but it constitutes a factor of neglect and marginalization of small and medium-sized companies, which is why this is a pending task for such an important sector of the national economy. In Ecuador, the shrimp sector is one of the main generators of foreign exchange, being important to publicize its traceability, production, logistics, and environmental processes, where blockchain technology serves to make these activities transparent and make them known to customers and consumers, guaranteeing that the product has good production and environmental practices. The study aims to describe blockchain technology as a new concept of Corporate Social Responsibility in shrimp exporters in the Province of El Oro, Ecuador. For the compilation of the information, the descriptive method of a qualitative type was used, the documentary analysis and the application of the bibliographic technique to make an approach to reliable and truthful information for its analysis and interpretation. The result obtained is to demonstrate the benefits of blockchain in the shrimp industry that needs to optimize its corporate social responsibility processes for the benefit of its consumers and clients.
