Actual corporate social responsibility spillovers within activities of foodbanks: focus on the Czech Republic

Original language description

Purpose: The sectoral point of view regarding food production and distribution determines food banks within intentions to reduce food waste by helping people in need. The growing trend in the use of food banks is mainly associated with changes in the living standards of the population, especially in connection with the current COVID-19 crisis. Design/methodology/approach: In the current crisis, we can expect a growing need for help from food banks and the visibility of hidden problems in their operations. This article aims to identify the common factors for sustainable services provision of food banks and focuses on the situation in the Czech Republic Findings: There are provided results of a questionnaire survey conducted among representatives and members of the Czech Federation of Food Banks, revealing identified common factors for sustainable services of food banks in the Czech Republic. Research limitations: Although the current state of financial support for ensuring the activities of food banks by the state is assessed by food banks positively, the effort to change the scheme of financing food banks in the Czech Republic persists and it is even intensifying. The survey conducted among food banks also pointed out at the need to ensure non-financial support for the activities of food banks, including information support on the operations side. Social implications: Partial results point out at the field of public awareness and a need for advisory support within operational activities of food banks in the Czech Republic. Food banks are intended to assist people in material need through charitable and humanitarian organizations acting as a cooperating organization within a respective region.
