Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR ), the well known idea in the developed countries, is becoming more and more important also in the Polish reality. The article contains a characteristic of corporate social responsibility and the role of the stakeholders. Nowadays, the necessity to create and maintain positive relationship with business environment is extremely important, which can be proved by many boycotts of companies that violate the rights of their employees, human rights or animal rights. The development of the consumer movements is so dynamic that in the Western countries there are more and more entrepreneurs who attempt to inform their consumers about their social engagement. How is this problem outlined in the Polish reality? The last part of the article presents the results of a research conducted at The Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, which shows that communication of their social engagement by means of the Internet is not the strongest side of Polish companies. However, it seems that this form of communication has already began to develop in Poland.
