“…The idea of CSR is not a new concept. A large percentage of SMEs, even without knowing the name, have long been undertaking activities that could be called 'Corporate Social Responsibility' [9,10]. What is new is the growing interest in CSR from different stakeholder groups: customers, employees, contractors, local authorities, financial intermediaries, capital markets, European Commission (EC).…”

As a research hypothesis, it was assumed that micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprise SMEs undertake Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mainly guided by the benefits obtainable from this activity. The aim of the study was to identify the achievable and achieved benefits of undertaking CSR by SME enterprises. SMEs are not obliged to report this activity. The exploration included literature studies and empirical research, according to the expert method, in three stages: (1) selection of experts, (2) collection of information using the CAWI and CATI method, (3) development and interpretation of research results. Research has indicated that CSR is becoming closer to SMEs. The research has shown that experts are implementing CSR and gaining benefits from it. It has also shown that experts’ knowledge of CSR is insufficient, which results in many opportunities resulting from the implementation of this activity being overlooked. The European Commission (EC) guidelines introduced an obligation of reporting CSR only for listed companies; indirectly, this obligation will also affect other companies. Voluntary reporting will increase the knowledge of CSR and bring many benefits to SMEs, provided that a legal framework is created to facilitate the implementation of CSR and its reporting.

“…Drucker, in turn, draws attention to the change in social expectations towards business and stresses that it is no longer just about reducing its negative impact on the environment, but doing something useful for society without being forced to. Drucker stressed that social problems are real challenges for government, and that the function of business is to satisfy social demand while benefiting itself [44]. FB's social involvement is, therefore, the adoption of some of the state's responsibilities by these companies.…”

“…Over the years, FBs social involvement has changed and transformed, with donor families looking for new ways to make sure their donations are effective. According to views presented in the literature [44,53,54], when engaging socially, business families should not act only in response to the needs of beneficiaries, but should align their actions with their own business plans and with the expectations of future family leaders (successors). Such a model of behavior encourages families to share their wealth and makes their activities effective and efficient.…”

“…Such a model of behavior encourages families to share their wealth and makes their activities effective and efficient. Drucker points out that a necessary condition for the company to engage socially is to behave in an economically responsible way, while the condition of effectiveness is that the company should not take actions beyond its own competence [44].…”

“…The effect of philanthropy should be beneficial social changes, improvements in the quality of life of local communities or larger social groups. The literature [44,53,54] expresses the view that philanthropic activity is an FB's investment. When investing their money, FBs should finance tasks that bring the best results for society and for the company.…”

Social involvement of enterprises, i.e., sharing wealth with those in need, can be spoken of only in the case of owner-managed family firms (FB). These companies account for two-thirds of all enterprises in the global economy; they contribute to the stability, development, and continuity of the existence of the economies of many countries. However, the sustainability of the existence of individual FBs is often threatened. Social engagement of owners and preparation of successors are the appropriate retort as they affect the transgenerational sustainability of these enterprises. The purpose of this study is to identify the causes, scope, forms, and beneficiaries of social engagement of Polish FBs. The study uses the Delphi method implemented in three stages: (1) selection of experts; (2) collection of information; and (3) development and interpretation of research results in the context of adopted research questions, research objective, and research hypothesis. The results of the study confirm that FBs make an important contribution to sustainable social development at the micro level. The social engagement of FBs brings benefits to both beneficiaries and donors, responds to genuinely existing needs, and supports the cross-generational sustainability of companies.
