The Social Area of Corporate Social Responsibility and its Concept in Chemical Enterprises as a Part of their Social Welfare

Abstract

This paper deals with the concept of the social area of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Directed interviews conducted in a few large chemical enterprises in the Czech Republic discovered an interesting fact concerning perception of social activities within corporate social responsibility. What is surprising is the fact how often statutory employee care is confused or identified with above-standard care in corporate practice. It is also obvious that employees take a number of above-standard employee benefits for granted. The authors of the paper are considering the ways how enterprises could set their employee care and social responsibility in the social area beyond the statutory scope and present them to the employees and the public.
