The Environmental Pillar of CSR and Company Management
Original language description
Business based on the Triple-Bottom-Line idea represents a modern entrepreneurial concept, consisting of three pillars - economic, social and environmental. It emphasizes the company's focus not only on maximizing profit and its economic growth, but also on social and environmental issues. This paper deals just with the issue of the environmental pillar within corporate social responsibility (CSR). In the first part, it provides a literature overview on this topic and a hypothesis is stated: “National enterprises are less involved in CSR activities than multinational enterprises, and (based on a self-assessment) the level of their activities in this area is lower". The second part of the paper provides selected primary data and the results of a survey in which companies from two different rankings were assessed: i) the CZECH Stability Award (i.e. the 100 most financially stable Czech companies in 2016; this stability ranking is based on the Bisnode rating model), and ii) the CZECH TOP 100 (i.e. the 100 most important Czech companies in 2016 based on revenue, which are typically the largest employers in the country). For data collection and their processing, a CAWI method was used. The result is an analysis of environmental pillar activities. It confirms the existence of some barriers and deficient implementation of CSR activities, especially for SMEs. However, on the other hand, it shows the future perspective of CSR activities and their potential to be comprehensively implemented by these companies’ management.
