Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the corporate social responsibility which is a current value and ethical concept in business and public life. The subject of the paper is the very concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its professional approach in science. The aim of the research is to determine to what extent CSR is dealt with within the European Union countries in comparison with other world countries. Science is represented by professional scientific publications devoted to CSR. The basic method is a systematic review based on the quantitative evaluation of selected features of 75 papers published on CSR worldwide. The research concludes that the scientific approach to CSR is described and developed especially in the USA. The transfer of CSR by the European Union into its member states as tracked in documents of the existing initiatives of particularly the OECD and European Commission raises a number of questions.
