Summary

Introduction

Increasing globalization has made the concept of corporate social responsibility a positive trend when companies focus on profit but above all on sustainable growth and development. Social responsibility is a positive tendency [4,5]. Despite the fact that the number of socially responsible companies in Slovakia is relatively low, it has an increasing character. Companies are aware of their negative impact on the environment and seek to eliminate it through the principles of corporate social responsibility, thereby increasing their competitiveness, image and customer loyalty [6, 7]
