The rationale for researching this topic was the lack of scientific studies in this area. To this end, in accordance with the developed research methodology, a literature analysis was used to demonstrate the originality of the problem, as well as the case study method to analyze complex phenomena. To achieve this goal, a survey was conducted of a selected company from the water and sewage industry. Statistical analysis methods were used to verify the research hypotheses. The results show that corporate governance and its individual factors are at a relatively high level. This indicates that the way the organization is managed enables the effective implementation and monitoring of activities related to CSR. From a practical perspective, it is important to further strengthen internal communication, increase legal awareness among staff, and develop managerial skills in the area of employee motivation. The research conducted makes a significant contribution to the development of science, confirming the importance of corporate governance, in which ethics and legal compliance play a key role in shaping a socially responsible organization.
