Development of corporate social responsibility in Visegrad group countries

The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Visegrad Group countries (V4) is not very well developed yet, but is gradually transforming and becoming an important topic in the region. The study findings indicate that also CSR reporting practices are not widespread among companies in V4 countries. Initiatives undertaken by the governments of V4 countries basically are related with sharing of information and knowledge and the development of reporting guides. The paper presents an overview of the development of the concept of CSR in Visegrad 4 countries concentrating especially on disclosing the information on CSR performance in the region. The situation of CSR reporting practices in each of the V4 countries is outlined based on the conducted literature analysis.
