Abstract

Social responsibility (SR) is a complex human attribute applied to various degrees, means and ends in the social sciences, personal and managerial practices. This problem was only partly resolved by the new ISO 2600 standard on social responsibility, published in November 2010, with two novelties: the interdependence and holistic approach as the linkage between the 7 principles and core subjects (organizational governance, human rights, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development).SR is defined as oneʼs responsibility for oneʼs impact on society (EU, 2011). Corporate SR expresses SR of its influential persons. Does and to which extent SR contributes to the successfulness of the organizations was the main research question of the structured interviews and surveys conducted in 2409 selected Slovenian organisations, in which their managers and employees were involved. The following hypothesis was tested: (C)SR in Slovenia is based on four fundamental attributes (good relationships with broader environment, relationships with employees, customer relationships, and leadership/ company policy).
