Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study was to identify the environmental and social benefits of industry organizations’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts in the automotive industry within the European Union. Based on statistical data, the production and sales of automotive vehicles for 2019–2022 were characterized. In addition, current trends and challenges in the automotive industry were presented. The role of industry organizations and the scope of their activities regarding the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the automotive industry were analyzed. It mainly focuses on reducing the environmental impact of companies’ activities, which refers to the idea of Ecological Corporate Social Responsibility (ECSR). Automobile and automotive parts manufacturers are taking steps toward realizing the climate concept established by the European Commission, whose primary goal is zero-emission and safe mobility by 2035. This primarily involves increasing the share of electric cars and developing alternative propulsion technologies.
