Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the state of CSR in Poland and the adoption of CSR practices by Polish-based companies. CSR only gained traction in Poland from the 2000s with the increasing openness of the country’s economy to the international flows of trade and investments. Data on CSR in Poland shows that companies predominantly focus their efforts on supporting development of local community, improving working conditions, and protecting the natural environment. It is argued that the concept of the institutional isomorphism and its mechanism serve well the explanation of the diffusion of CSR practices in Poland.
