Corporate social responsibility is a new approach to enterprise management. It is an approach which is based on several principles, the most important is to emphasize that the goal with a company's profitability also is care for employees, respect for the environment and the local community. It is a complex way of management which can’t be built in one night. It takes a lot of investment, a lot of desire and will, as from the owners and managers of company and also from employees, because if company doesn’t invest enough in the employee, their knowledge and training it will be very difficult to implement corporate social responsibility in the company. Corporate social responsibility is not a new way of doing business, but it's a way that only in the last ten years has seen a great expansion and only in the last decadecompany’s have begun to realize all the benefits of corporate social responsibility and this is why a large number of companies are thinking for exactly this way of doing business, for corporate responsibility and all that it brings. Employers who decide for socially responsible business must know and be trained themselves for the implementation of such a project, because socially responsible business asks for a lot of responsibilities and decisions that will affect a company's business. In this I work will explain all about corporate social responsibility, from her history, true all periods, to the present situation in the world, in Croatia, and in the end everything will be supported by an example and research.
