Abstract

Researching socially responsible companies (CSR) in the context of considering the needs of stakeholders in their activities, decision-making and daily activities. These activities are often associated with the companies' membership in various corporations and associations, which testifies to their transparent approach to the CSR concept. This voluntary commitment of companies, as the overall cultivation of the business environment, is determined on the basis of manual data collection from publicly available web resources of state administration bodies, including paid databases from 2020/2021. Individual EU countries were examined in order to create an overview of the development of this membership. It was found that the number of individual business entities that actually subscribe to the CSR concept compared to the total number of companies in a given country is, however, very low. The role and importance of this membership for socially responsible companies plays a key role.
