CSR not so popular yet - KPMG

A vast majority of medium-sized and large Polish companies see corporate social responsibility as a duty for businesses. However, only 46 percent actually perform any CSR activity, according to a report published by consultancy KPMG on Tuesday. Among those who undertake CSR activity, the majority are large companies with foreign ownership. Some 63 percent have a management board member with CSR as one of their responsibilities. Only 18 percent of the surveyed companies saw long-term involvement as the focus of CSR. For 50 percent of the businesses, environment-related issues were the most important area of engagement. The second most frequent answer was local communities.
