The paper describes the basic principles of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the significance of its application in the wood processing businesses.
The aim of the study was to determine actions that should be undertaken by companies to be seen as socially responsible, and what factors influence on the choice of the employer by respondents. A diagnostic survey method was used including the author’s questionnaire, which was tested upon 1,157 residents of Lubelskie Province. The stratified random selection was applied, and discriminant function analysis for statistical calculations. According to respondents, a socially responsible company is such that prefers ethical action, well treats the employees, has a honest relationship with employees and customers, as well as supports charity and ecological organizations. When choosing an employer, earnings, opinion of employees about the atmosphere in the company, and the prospect of the employees development proved to be the most important. Experiences of other countries should be used in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in order to achieve the most practical management methods, while entrepreneurs should be familiarized with the importance of CRS, and take care of the social approval of their company in media, as well as seek to cooperate with the authorities and the local community.
Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of the study was to compare the behavior of companies located in the areas of nature value and in their proximity with companies located in urbanized areas in the Lublin Region in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Materials and methods: The study was conducted by means of the diagnostic survey method, using direct interviews. Results and conclusions: Companies located in valuable natural or close to natural areas tend to undertake ecological and environmental investments (27.68%), care for the common good (54.46%), and treat employees well (54.46%) as compared with the companies located in urban areas (10.72%, 25.89% and 25.89%, respectively). Sensitivity to nature is primarily the result of the company’s direct contact with nature, the recognition of the importance of protecting it, as well as of good treatment of employees, that is it results mainly from the combination of business and personal relationships with employees. Firms located in urban areas are much more likely to support charitable donations (22.33%), which is a result of higher returns by these companies and more frequent requests for financial assistance. Further research in this regard should concern factors that make the entrepreneurs more willing to implement CSRs in their companies.

Ethics is an essential and integral part of social responsibility. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be seen as the responsibility of businesses towards society and the environment for the consequences of their decisions and carried out activities. A characteristic feature of the CSR is that companies’ behaviour is consistent with ethical behaviour, legislation and international standards of behaviour. Ethical behaviour, which deals with business ethics, is in fact the result of the solution to the conflict between the individual interests of businesses and interests of stakeholders. Consumers are a particular group of stakeholders which are interested in ethical behaviour and social responsibility of companies on the food market. In the interest of every consumer of food products meeting their essential living needs related to the safety and high nutritional value of food product is most important. The aim of this article is to provide essential terms regarding ethics and corporate social responsibility of the companies, the main causes of violation of ethical principles by food manufactures and their unethical actions most negatively affecting their image from the consumers’ point of view. Additionally the article contains a brief analysis of five EU countries which sent the largest number of notification to the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) in the years 2009-2013, because of the risk of consuming health and life-threatening food.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are handled differently in different countries. Whereas global acreage of GMOs jumped to 134 million hectares in 2009 [Cultivation... 2010], in many European countries opposition to GMOs is still strong, and their acreage is very small. This situation poses a difficult situation for many companies and their corporate social responsibility [CSR] strategies. Against this background, we conducted an online survey of 170 agribusiness firms in order to shed some light on how companies handle the conflict between, on the one hand, the growing use of GMOs worldwide and, on the other, the rejection of GMOs by European consumers. The empirical results show that many agribusiness firms perceive the use of GMOs as a highly relevant management issue that shapes their CSR strategies. All in all, agribusiness firms apply a wide spectrum of CSR activities; furthermore, CSR is considered a top management responsibility. GMOs are of aboveaverage relevance in firms that have been criticized for their attitudes towards and use of GMOs. The empirical results have interesting implications for the management of CSR and legitimacy in the agribusiness sector.
Social responsibility as a means towards sustainability in timber industry. Concerns about social responsibility have become an increasingly high profile issue in many countries, industries and businesses. The forest industry is one of the most sensitive sectors paying the crucial role in global sustainable development due to its unique role in industrial development, globalization of economy and increase of social awareness about forest and timber business. The main purpose of the article is to approach theoretically the SR strategy in timber industry by taking into consideration legal and ethical, reputational and social points of view. The second - is to give a simple overview how SR is implemented by the Polish company registered in the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The website of companies registered on the Warsaw Stock Exchange is recognized as a reliable and valuable source of information due to the WSE strategy based on the principles of corporate social responsibility. As a main conclusion of the examination one may stress that although the data gathered in this article is not adequate enough the Polish timber industry does not perceive the sustainability as its major objective. The companies accept only legal requirements and standards. If they carry out socially responsible activities, it is due to a necessity to be visible and perceived as a liable organization.
