Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the research of social responsibility in corporations owned by Varazdin Municipality. Social responsibility is observed in the context of business ethics with an emphasis on social responsibility in state-owned corporations, because the corporations owned by municipalities (COM), according to the ownership criteria, are remarkably like state-owned corporations (SOC). Corporations owned by local municipalities in Croatia are not state-owned corporations, but these entities are neither private companies nor public companies if they are not listed on the stock exchange. As the cities and counties are both municipalities very similar to the state and governed by the same political structures, the corporations owned by local municipalities are managed in the same way as state-owned companies. Thus, the research of social responsibilities in locally owned corporations can be pilot research of social responsibility in state-owned corporations on the national level of the Republic of Croatia.
