Summary/Abstract: The contribution examines and analyses modern approaches of a marketing concept for the effective cooperation between profit and non-profit sectors, which helps carry out socially desirable activities and encourage socially responsible behaviour of companies. More and more companies realise the usefulness of so-called «social entrepreneurship», a partnership, based on interconnection of profit and non-profit sectors, and on the initiation of long-term partnerships of business entities and non-profit organisations upon carrying out socially desirable activities. Incorporation of socially focused activities into the key marketing strategies of companies and development of strong and active relationships with the third sector subjects help profit organisations to increase brand value, carry out innovative programmes as well as optimise profit on the one hand, and enable non-profit organisations to gain means for their meritorious activities on the other hand. Modern methods of marketing, presented in the article, enable great potential for enforcing of socially desirable behaviour of companies and addresses consumers, who care about better living conditions and certainties of the civilisation.
