The development of CSR in Poland as seen by managers
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a subject of many studies and analyses; with new results appearing continuously; trying to systematize various aspects of this concept. This paper provides a synthetic overview of the findings from three studies con-ducted in 2003; 2010 and 2015 with a group of managers from major corporations in the first two cases; and with a group of CSR managers in the most recent study. A comparison of opinions and views on the role of CSR and; above all; on its benefits and barriers; indicates that the respondents have already reached the stage of maturity. And even the sheer fact that a group of 133 individuals could be singled out to take part in the 2015 CSR Managers study also indicates that a profession related to responsible business has already emerged. The article will focus on the first study conducted in Poland on a target group comprising individuals whose job responsibilities are related to CSR implementation at the workplace. “CSR Managers” (hereinafter CSR Managers/2015) was a study conducted by PBS; a research agency; for the Responsible Business Forum in 2015.
