Summary/Abstract: The micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly engaging their resources in order to minimize or eliminate their negative impact on the natural environment, strengthen relationships with employees and become more recognizable in local and regional markets through social activities. The aim of this paper is to determine whether the CSR activity is similar or differentiated depending on the size of the enterprise. In this context, the main hypothesis will be verified, which states that the size of the enterprise determines the type of social activity. In order to verify the research hypothesis, good practices in the area of CSR implemented in Polish MSMEs which participated in the project Increasing the competitiveness of regions through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) were analyzed and the results were presented by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development in 2017.
