Summary/Abstract: The issue of CSR is increasingly present in contemporary academic discourse. Created for ever new standards for the implementation, CSR also developed solutions to enable detailed reporting results regarding CSR organizations and their comparability. The question is whether, in any society we can equally easily operate in this area? Is the culture of the country to some extent makes it easy, or too difficult to implement CSR. In this publication, starting from the classical concept of G. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions there is an analysis of one of the Hofstede dimensions’ power distance with the implementation of CSR. The purpose is to determine how far to authority (small or large) promotes the proper implementation of CSR.
