CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF LARGE BUSINESS IN RUSSIA
Abstract
The attention to the «corporate social responsibility» (CSR) phenomenon increased at the end of the 21st century, when the companies’ influence on social and ecological integrity of regions, not just shareholders and investors, became evident. The activity of the companies in the regions of presence definitely impacts the level and quality of life of the population. Business involvement in social policy of the regions of presence is analyzed. The analysis of particular components of corporate social responsibility involves several largest companies of Russia. The components are social activity in the regions of presence, interaction with stakeholders and the environmental protection activities. Six types of single-industry settlements are identified according to their social-economic situation and the social activities of city-forming enterprises.
