Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the role of public sector’s organisation in Corporate Social Responsibility both, from horizontal and vertical perspective; therefore, from the point of view of these organisations’ impact on the social-economic reality as well as from the point of view of a participant of this reality. Recommendations within social responsibility in Poland were prepared in the middle of the year 2011. Three priority areas were distinguished within these recommendations. Selected criteria of one of these areas were subjected to detailed analyses. In the article there were used findings realized in 220 organizations of the public sector (102 Polish and 118 European). The questionnaire to plenipotentiaries of intentionally chosen organizations of the public sector was a base of the collection of information within the framework of the research. On the grounds of these analyses, it is stated that activities aimed at increasing administration’s responsibility have been undertaken, however, their level is low in comparison with foreign entities. Public sector organisations in Poland fully realise neither the role of a patron, nor the one of a benchmark in social responsibility.
