“…Fuchsová et al (2018) found a relationship between regional economic performance and CP. Tetřevová et al (2017) did not cope specifically with the geography, but proposed valuable case studies of CP in industries with high social/environmental externalities: chemicals, explosives, alcohol, tobacco, and gambling (see also Gurská & Valová 2013 for evaluation of CP in mining). While the above mentioned authors deal primarily with the regional/industry case studies or focus at the NUTS3 level (Fuchsová et al 2018), we analyse CP at the level of the so-called municipalities with extended powers (further only "microregions"), administrative units roughly corresponding with nodal regions.…”

AbstractWe aim to describe and explain current differences in the rate of corporate philanthropy (CP) at microregional level. Primary research question is to what extent are microregional patterns of CP affected by determinants at firm and industry-level (firm size, industrial structure, profitability) and to what extent are they shaped by regional contextual factors. Measurement of CP was based on anonymized firm-level data provided by the Ministry of Finance, aggregated at the level of municipalities with extended powers (microregions). We employed a regression model to test the effects of population density, economic performance, specialization, dependence of manufacturing, firm size, traditional values and social capital. Surprisingly, we found no significant effects of firm size and industrial structure on regional CP. Firm’s profitability was the most important predictor. We found also positive effects of population density and religiosity and negative relationship between CP and regional economic performance. Despite initial expectations higher rate of CP was not found in rural regions.

“…The specificity of the sector, however, seems to be similar, as evidenced by research-a comparative analysis of two mines located in the Czech Republic and Zambia. No definite differences were detected; on the contrary, the mines struggled with the same problems [52]. Therefore, the stakeholders of these sectors should also have an impact in the field of CSR, thanks to which some of their problems could be overcome [53].…”

The development of the economy is related not only to its benefits, but also its negative aspects. One of the negative impacts is the impact on the environment and society. Many types of industry and, in a narrower sense, of enterprises, adversely affect their surroundings. It is one of the many factors that has contributed to the growing popularity of the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It is important to balance business and industry with the environment and community impacts. This study presents selected aspects of corporate social responsibility, such as society, the environment, and corporate governance in relation to the industry responsible for energy production and distribution. This group includes the energy sector (mining oil, gas, consumer fuels, and energy equipment and services), the materials sector (metallurgy and mining), as well as distribution (gas, electricity supply, independent energy producers, and renewable energy). The aim of the article was to present the level of implementation of the concept of corporate social responsibility in enterprises responsible for the production and supply of energy. The article uses the analysis of the literature and the statistical analysis showing the level of use of the described concept in the analysed entities. It was based on an analysis of 1904 companies from 41 countries around the world. The article presents the level of implementation of the concept of corporate social responsibility in selected sectors, divided into three areas: social, environmental, and corporate governance. In each of them, the analysis was performed with regard to the selected, most important factors. In addition, an analysis of the described industry, in relation to the others, is presented, which shows the level of use of individual CSR aspects. Thus, it shows which criteria are followed by enterprises in their activities and indicates the real areas of CSR impact on companies.

“…Although both entities operate in different regions, social, economic, legal environment they have much in common when it comes to realizing the CSR strategy. They also face similar problems and make the same mistake which is the inconsistency between their activity and reporting (Gurská and Válová, 2013).…”

Purpose:The aim of the article is to present the level of CSR in mining industry comparing to various sectors of the economy and to indicate the differences of CSR performance in mining companies resulting from their geographical location and size. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper is based on the literature review and statistical analysis of data derived from CSR ratings. Findings: Research showed that mining industry represents relatively high level of social responsibility. According to regional analysis European entities were awarded with the highest grades in most of indicators while Japanese companies obtained considerably lower results than other regions. Practical Implications: Although, there was no significant differentiation in the level of CSR in the mining sector resulting from the size of the company, the smallest entities performed considerably worse than other groups in all environmental and social indicators. Originality/Value: The presented research shows the degree of use of the CSR concept in the mining industry and the possibilities of improving the company's operations in accordance with sustainable development.
