We presented the methodology of the studies undertaken by the organization mentioned above which analyzed the condition of the CSR in Poland. The same studies are carried out every year and special reports are drawn up based on their results which are described in detail together with a commentary comparing the current state of affairs with the previous year. The results of these measurements allow to check whether the CSR idea becomes more popular and more frequently applied and whether it brings measurable benefits both to the companies and their surroundings.
