“…Hąbek (2019) states that CSR reporting is not common in the Visegrad region and that the main practices focus on the "sharing of information and knowledge and the development of reporting guides". The specificity of the region has also been reported by some other scholars (Rozsa et al, 2022;Przytuła et al, 2019). For example Przytuła et al (2019) conclude their research in the specific region by reporting, inter alia, a lack of holistic approaches to the realisation of CSR policies.…”

“…The latest available research that includes a direct comparison of the three countries from the perspective of the same methodology is based on relatively small samples from the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Alliance for Corporate Transparency, 2023a; Alliance for Corporate Transparency, 2023b;Frank Bold, 2020). Some other research, such as that by Przytuła et al (2019), are based on the review of research in particular countries. The study from 2020 shows that, in general, all the environmental issues are addressed in company reporting to a significantly greater extent in Poland than in the other two countries.…”

The article presents a comprehensive investigation into the prioritisation of environment-oriented Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities among companies within the Visegrad region, encompassing the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. An online questionnaire featuring Likert scale questions was used to collect data from November 2022 to June 2023 on the emphasis placed on 11 distinct environment-oriented CSR activities. Analytical methods covered descriptive and inferential analyses. The study contributes original insights by focusing on the Visegrad region's corporate engagement in environmental CSR activities. The findings reveal significant disparities between countries, particularly in the domains of eco-friendly transportation solutions and investments in green technologies for environmental progress. Statistically significant differences were observed between the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as between Poland and Slovakia, there by shedding light on the diverse CSR orientations and priorities within this geographic context. These findings underscore the importance of tailored CSR strategies within the Visegrad region's corporate landscape to address environmental challenges effectively.

“…The results revealed differences between countries in terms of employee turnover, the perceptions of employees as the most important capital of the company and the implementation of a participative management style (Metzker & Zvarikova, 2021). Other research for V4 shows that CSR reporting practices are not widespread in V4 countries (Przytuła, Formánková, Ubrežiová, & Dunay, 2019; Hąbek, 2017). In contrast, the results of a survey in the Czech Republic show that the majority of employees are familiar with the CSR concept, perceive it positively and want their employer to behave in accordance with it.…”

PurposeNearly half of the surveyed SMEs in Poland admitted that there is a very strong competition on the market where they operate. Among the neuralgic factors they point to the lack of qualified employees (PARP, 2021). Companies can use CSR policies to attract competent employees and retain valuable ones. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to find out whether, according to employees working in SME companies, an active CSR policy influences their employment-related decisions.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through questionnaires received from 618 employees of 29 SMEs in Poland through questionnaires, which were analyzed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 and Microsoft Excel 2019.FindingsThe survey results provide evidence that CSR activities are an important factor in employees' decisions about potential employment and/or continued employment. In particular, the results show that almost all areas of CSR, except cooperation with the local communities, are important to employees. The survey also provides a clear answer as to which CSR initiatives benefiting employees of SME companies are the most important for them.Originality/valueThe conducted research fills a gap in CSR related studies on the SME sector in Poland. This is important, given the significant share of SME sector companies in the market in Poland and around the world.

“…The size of the firm is key, especially in light of the amendment to the Slovak Republic National Council Accounting Act 130/2015 [11] adopted in line with Directive 2014/95/EU [12] on the disclosure of non-financial information, i.e., the disclosure of CSR activities. In the Slovak Republic, no study on the relationship between the size of a company and its CSR activities has been made, since all studies made so far only dealt with large companies due to publicly disclosed data [13][14][15].…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been a highly debated topic in recent years. The aim of this approach is to achieve sustainability through three basic pillars: the economic, social, and environmental. Today, corporate environmental responsibility is coming to the fore with the aim of solving global and regional environmental issues. An important aspect of the study was to identify the influence of the size of a company on the involvement in CSR. The results of the study suggest the potential impact of the legislative obligation to disclose non-financial information (CSR activities) on involvement in CSR, where only large companies have this obligation. No study has been conducted in the Slovak Republic on the impact of the size parameter of a company on CSR activities in the environmental area comparing small, medium, and large enterprises. The findings also indicate differences between the approach companies take to global and regional environmental issues, showing that companies are more involved with regional environmental issues. This paper adds to the literature on the issues of sustainability, corporate social behaviors, and the environmental access of companies of different sizes. The research showed the highest involvement in CSR activities in the field of ecology in large companies, which creates the need for further research with regard to possible legislative changes, with the possibility of extending the mandatory reports of CSR activities to small- and medium-sized enterprises.
