“…In our study [3] we calculated the overall extended degree of compliance at the level of Romania of 62.60% and presented the distribution of the level of this indicator at regional and structural level (by owner-capital structure, by legal form, by nature of activity, by number of employees, by organizational structure and management and by turnover). The analysis of its distributions at regional and structural level confirms the dependence of the compliance indicator but also of other performance indicators on: company size [4][5][6]; capital structure [7][8][9][10]; turnover [11][12][13][14][15]; organizational and management structure [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

In order to identify the factors that have influenced the Romanian companies’ level of compliance required by the Directive 2013/34/EU with respect to publishing, alongside the annual financial statements for 2017, a report containing non-financial information regarding environmental, social, and personal aspects, and business ethics, the following steps were taken in our groundbreaking study: firstly, we analyzed whether there are statistical associations between the level of compliance and the legal forms of organization, the forms of ownership of capital, the branch of activity, the number of employees, the turnover, and the company location; secondly, we evaluated the meaning and intensity of these associations with the help of non-parametric correlation coefficients; thirdly, we identified and presented the economic and social causes of the results obtained; and fourthly, we proposed measures that can contribute to increasing the degree of compliance. What is more, this rigorous scientific work highlights the need to enhance corporate governance and corporate social responsibility in order to create an appropriate balance between sustainability, competitiveness, productivity, and businesses’ financial and non-financial performance, while taking into consideration the benefits brought by the tangible value of businesses (such as, cash flow and earnings) as well as the intangible value of businesses (such as, brand, customer experience, intellectual capital, organizational culture and reputation).

“…Orientation on products or employees and other social aspects are currently becoming a significant dilemma in most industries, not only in Slovakia, which brings a new understanding of stakeholders (Krejčí and Šebestová, 2018). The product (service) offered to the customer is one of the factors enabling the company to achieve a competitive advantage (Sroka, Jablonski A. and Jablonski M., 2013).…”

Corporate reporting on non-financial information has been currently gaining much more interest compared to the past. Most food enterprises believe that performing responsibly and showing an interest in society and the environment will produce a profit and benefit them as well as society. Such cases, in which enterprises report on non-financial information, were the subject of this research. The study aims to discover the managerial reporting of 2017 on the social and environmental effects of food companies in Slovakia to better understand problems in this regard. 2017 was the first year when enterprises were required to draft annual reports containing non-financial information following the amendment to the Slovak law that resulted from the European Union requirements. Across the world, reporting on non-financial information is regulated by voluntary guidelines. The paper presents conclusions of a content analysis of annual food business reports in the Slovak Republic in the context of G4 (GRI) directives from social and environmental points of view as key elements in social responsibility reporting. Individual social and environmental aspects of the research are disclosed by an enterprise if the information in its annual report conforms to defined G4 activities (GRI). All the food enterprises operating in Slovakia that compiled annual reports for 2017 were included in the research. Therefore, 142 annual reports with economic activities in 26 subclasses in the food industry sector were selected. The results present a current and comprehensive (full) reporting overview of this industry in Slovakia and reveal several shortcomings in executive reporting. The analysis of the environmental information in the annual reports shows that food enterprises reporting on environmental protection mainly focus on waste, product services, wastewater, materials and energy, evidenced by information about ongoing monitoring of the environmental impacts of production. In the social category, the G4 (GRI) directive defines four main aspects: (i) labour relations and the environment, (ii) human rights, (iii) society and (iv) liability for products.

“…This way of thinking is important to make use of all organisation's capabilities to enable its development (Albrecht, 2003). It is increasingly noticed that in a culture that promotes innovation (Krejčí, Šebestová, 2018), the development of an organisation strengthens synergy. This is a phenomenon that emerges from the quality of teamwork.…”

Synergy is a powerful tool that emerges when the social potential is improved and high activity is achieved. This is a feature of well-functioning and continuously learning teams. The aim of the study is to examine circumstances that may favour synergy in team work. Teams functioning in a company that is typical for a learning organisation were selected to conduct analysis in the case study. In order to collect the data, the author applied grounded theory and surveys along with descriptive and analytical methods. The study proved that team synergy conditions are the quality of cooperative relations, entrepreneurial potential and measurable effects of joint action.
