Level of Consensus on the Content of Social Responsibility

Abstract: The diverse interpretations of sustainability and corporate social responsibility makes the practical applications difficult. Exploring the personal aspects of the topic allows to understand the personal perceptions and motivations that moves improvement forwards. This paper presents the result of investigating related preferences of business economics students as future managers in Hungary (n=150). The results show that preference orders are different by gender, level of education and knowledge level about CSR. The respondents keep environmental problems more important than social one, and the corporate responsibility in the field must focus on waste reduction and developing greener technologies.
