Summary/Abstract: The rationale of the concept of corporate social responsibility seems to be invaluable for the realization of the idea of sustainable development at various organizations. Basic principles of CSR based on moral business commitment resonate with the main rationale of sustainable development. Confirmation of the relationship between CSR and the idea of sustainable development are primarily international normative provisions in the field of corporate social responsibility. These regulations constitute, so to speak, a kind of signpost and a set of rules of conduct, which various organizations should stand out, incorporating a voluntary basis in the implementation of the concept of corporate social responsibility and thereby contributing to sustainable development. Basic principles of CSR based on the moral commitment of business are in line with the main rationale of sustainable development... The aim of this article is to present the analysis and evaluation of guidelines contained in the basic normative initiatives, proposed by international organizations in the field of corporate social responsibility and to demonstrate that these guidelines are an important reference point in the implementation of the concept of sustainable development.
