“…There are no review studies diagnosing the maturity and advancement of CSR practices of enterprises in Poland. There is only fragmented research, concerning particular aspects of CSR, such as the level of CSR disclosure [2][3][4][5][6][7], stakeholder reporting standards [8] or the institutional environment of CSR [9]. This study's contribution is the complex diagnosis of CSR conditions in Poland.…”

“…The analysis of changes in the implementation of CSR in Poland from the institutional perspective between 2007 [34] and 2014 [9] indicates that Poland has made only insignificant progress in areas like the legal and political environment, civil society context, reporting, and CSR standards. Although more than 65% of 227 Polish companies covered by the research by the CentrumCSR.pl Foundation declare commitment to CSR, these declarations are rather general and not supported by verifiable data [44], and CSR is primarily implemented by large international companies [1].…”

Transformation from a centrally planned economy to a market economy in 1989 created new challenges for the enterprises in Poland. Free market brought economic liberty, but also the need to take responsibility for the business’ impact on the environment. The last 20 years have brought intensive development of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Polish conditions: The institutional context supporting CSR has improved and so did the implementation of the CSR by the business. Intensive growth of CSR practices demands a reflection on the effectiveness of the implementation. This study’s contribution is a comprehensive diagnosis of CSR maturity of the enterprises in Poland using a conceptual CSR maturity model. The model is comprised of three perspectives: CSR process maturity, CSR formal maturity and CSR developmental maturity. CSR practices of 93 listed companies from nine industries were studied in 2016–2017. A qualitative content analysis of the enterprises websites was used as the method of study. The main finding was that the level of CSR practices of the enterprises in Poland is still rather low. Forty-seven percent of the enterprises implement incidental CSR, 30% tactical CSR and 23% apply strategic CSR. CSR maturity level is company size- and industry-dependent.

“…Grabara, Dura and Drigă (2016) argue that the majority of managers and leaders in medium-sized and large enterprises in Poland are keeping up with the most widespread CSR tendencies of other Western countries, while small and medium-sized enterprises still do not entirely adequately acknowledge the importance and benefits of CSR implementation. On the basis of the results of surveys conducted in Poland in the late 2011, Wołczek (2015) stated that only 31% of enterprises in Poland were aware of CSR concepts. 57% of the enterprises which conduct CSR-related activities choose to follow particular standards and guidelines.…”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become one of emerging issues in such countries as Vietnam and Poland and in the rest of the world. This is due to the advantages it brings to socio‑economic sustainable development or the living environment. The focus of this research is to present a comparative analysis of the current understanding, awareness and attitudes of Polish and Vietnamese customers. The study employs quantitative analyses and some tools of descriptive statistics to show that although Vietnamese and Polish customers have a rather positive attitude towards the issues related to CSR, they are still not interested in CSR reports on companies’ reputation and image as well as environmental pollution. Moreover, customers also pay attention to low prices rather than the CSR reputation of companies. By utilising the Mann‑Whitney U Test, this study shows that even though both countries are seen as transitional economies, there are certain differences in attitudes towards and awareness of CSR activities between Vietnamese and Polish customers.

“…As an outcome of debates increasing on CSR/business ethics, the number of scientific publications that approaches the theme of CSR has been highly proliferated (Tormo-Carbo et al, 2016). Thus, according to Wołczek (2015), approximately 200 scientific papers that relate directly or indirectly to the subject of CSR, were issued in 2013. In addition, several books published in Poland focused entirely on the subject of responsible education and/or the emergence of responsible universities: Social Responsibility of the University (Geryk, 2016); Responsible Management Education (Gasparski, 2008); Business Ethics as a teaching Subject (Gasparski & LewickaStrzałecka, 2001).…”

“…Currently, as shown in table 1, there are many well-known Polish higher education institutions that deliver programs and classes related to CSR issues. Unfortunately, most frequently these courses are offered as fee post-graduate courses which require the payment of tuition fees (Wołczek, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT. Our paper performs a comparative analysis of the development level of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) concept in Romania and Poland. The descriptive part of our study focuses on literature review in order to present the latest trends regarding CSR programs and practices implemented by both large and small companies originating from these two countries. Having in mind the idea that universities are assigned with the vital role in educating and disseminating socially responsible behaviour on both individuals and enterprises, we shifted our area of investigation on the issue of CSR education within Romanian and Polish context. As we noticed lack of research on the effectiveness of CSR courses in Romania as well as in Poland, we designed an empirical study which aims to shed light on the main factors that determine the level of CSR awareness among Bachelor graduates from a Romanian university.
