Abstract

The business operation of companies is not neutral and is not perceived any more in terms of profitable operations, but also in terms of whether it is beneficial for the society. Social responsibility contributes to improving relationships with key stakeholders, thus contributing to the long-term sustainability of the company. The paper points out to the positive link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the reputation of the bank. Without CSR, neither the improvement nor the expansion of banking operations is possible. The aim is to point out that profit and CSR are not opposed categories and that the CSR of banks represents a strong comparative advantage on the market. The paper gives a theoretical and practical overview of the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR), with a focus on the banking sector.
