Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to review how Polish socially responsible companies identyfy the category of reputation risk. The research was based on the information provided in annual financial statements (for 2015) by Polish companies included in Respect Index (which is the index of 25 socially reponsible companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange). The research confirmed that the companies differed visibly in the interpretation of risk reputation. Most of the companies from the financial sector provided their understanding (and definition) of reputation risk, whereas non-financial companies indirectly informed about reputation threats. Moreover, in most of the cases the context of reputation risk was very diversivied. This leads to the conclusion that there is a need to implement systemised way of the information about reputation risk, which may reduce the information assymmetry.
