EN The notion of corporate social responsibility emphasizes the paramount importance of enterprises in building relationships with the communities in which they operate. This applies in particular to industrial companies that operate in the real rather than the virtual environment. Manufacturing typically requires the use of expensive infrastructure and a whole array of physical and non-physical factors, as well as compliance with the 6R principle (reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, redesign, and remanufacture) pertaining to correct type, price, quality, time, quantity, and cost. In addition to fulfilling the above prerequisites, manufacturers are forced to compete globally, often mainly on price. All this distinguishes the business of manufacturing from that of the service sector. The authors attempt to explore the CSR activities undertaken by manufacturing companies in Poland. They also undertake to identify the advantages and limitations of their CSR solutions. Their aim was to highlight the option of disseminating even the simplest solutions available to the majority of organizations, and identifying the related threats. They close with suggestions for further CSR development in Poland’s manufacturing sector.
