Summary/Abstract: The last decade has made the whole world, in particular Europe and the EU, direct witnesses and participants in a number of processes and phenomena that have left a strong mark on the economic and social situation of the new globalized world. Undoubtedly one of the biggest events that still stays under the public eye and is continuously covered by the media is the refugee wave that swept the EU. European institutions and the UN tirelessly launch and build programs in order to address and tackle the pressing problems. It is of particular interest to follow the reaction and actions of the private sector in this situation. The object of this study are three of the major oil companies that have European origin and their headquarters are based in the EU – how and whether they introduce and update their programs for corporate social responsibility in connection with the current events? What other major European-based companies handle the situation? Can the private sector and the supranational institutions work together and find the right path to economic and social stabilization?
