Assessment of communication CSR by Polish water and sewage companies
Authors: ,
Abstract: The aim of the article was to carry out analysis and evaluation of the process of communication CSR by water and sewage companies. The analysis was carried out in relation to 510 water and sewage companies located in Poland, associated in the Chamber of Commerce of "Polish Waterworks". In the theoretical part, the method of literature review was used, and in the empirical research, the method of analyzing the content of the social responsibility concept published on the enterprises’ websites was used. The obtained results allow for the conclusion that the communication carried out by the surveyed water and sewage companies in the field of corporate social responsibility should be assessed quite low. Out of 510 surveyed enterprises 63% did not inform about the implementation of activities in line with the CSR concept. Most of them conduct communication activities in the form of environmental education. Among the surveyed water and sewage companies, the biggest number of them have a well-developed and implemented systems ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and EMAS. Hence, it can be concluded that enterprises, the most often and to a very limited extent, only implement the strategy of informing about CSR activities. The research also shows that in Polish conditions there is no relationship between the implementation of formalized management systems and the concept of CSR
