Abstract:
The paper aims to confront views on the CSR concept with the actual activities undertaken in this area by the large and medium-sized companies in Poland. The paper is enriched by the presentation of consumer opinions on CSR, by which it is possible to identify the purpose of implementing socially responsible activities in these entities. The thesis of the paper is that large and medium-sized enterprises in Poland recognize the expectations of consumers in the implementation of the concept of corporate social responsibility and at the same time feel the same need, but many of them have not taken any action in this respect so far.
