Subject. The current decade has been recognised by the world community as “a decade of decisive actions” aimed at combating numerous social and environmental issues. Solving these problems is impossible without mobilising the efforts of the business community. In this regard, corporate social responsibility (CSR) becomes highly important as well as the issue of integrating its principles into business activities. Since the industrial sector is characterised by the most significant impact on the environment and the local community and involves substantial labour resources, the implementation of CSR by industrial enterprises is of particular interest. Purpose. An analysis and assessment of the prospects for the development of corporate social responsibility among industrial enterprises in the Voronezh Region. Methods. The study involved a quantitative strategy for collecting and analysing information. The empirical basis was data from a survey carried out at 30 industrial enterprises in the Voronezh Region. Results. The empirical study allowed shaping the big picture of how CSR is understood and implemented by industrial enterprises in the Voronezh Region in terms of: the composition of the main CSR programmes and addressees; international and national CSR standards used in the activities and the formation of internal institutions for the CSR development; the nature and forms of interaction between enterprises, the state, and non-profit organisations; and assessing the prospects and barriers to the development of CSR. Conclusions. The social responsibility of non-public regional industrial enterprises remains fragmentary. There is a gap between the actual CSR content, its understanding by the management personnel of enterprises, and the current implementation of social programmes in practice. All activities of industrial enterprises in the field of CSR continue their technical and technological processes or business processes. Enterprises pay little attention to non-production activities. Enterprises are not interested in disclosing information about their activities, reducing any adverse impact they have on the environment, contributing to the sustainability of the territories where they are located, and the formation of civil society. Businesses act as closed systems that exist outside society. In order to develop the CSR of regional industrial enterprises, a set of measures (financial and economic, organisational, informational, and educational) has been proposed, which ensures the relevance of the content of regional industrial policy.

Corporate social responsibility is an ongoing commitment by the business community to act ethically and contribute to the economic development of the local community or the wider community, along with improving the level of workers and their families. Companies in carrying out social responsibility, should focus on three things, namely profit (profit), society (people), and the environment (planet). Attention to the community and the environment around the company can be done one of them by the way the company carries out activities as well as making policies that can improve welfare, quality of life, and community competence in various fields. By paying attention to the environment, companies can participate in environmental preservation efforts for the sake of preserving the quality of human life in the long run. Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies and Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 47 of 2012 concerning Limited Liability and Environmental Liability Companies as a legal umbrella for implementing Corporate Social Responsibility is no longer voluntary or philanthropic that depends on individual morals, but rather an obligation which must be carried out because it is mandatory. The company's obligation to implement the Corporate Social Responsibility is conveyed to the community through community service activities with the target audience, namely the people of Pasrung Village, Buduran District, Sidoarjo Regency. Education results from the synergy of village government programs with companies in implementing Corporate Social Responsibility, namely PT Kemas Persada Internasional has implemented Corporate Social Responsibility  with several forms of programs including land clearing for community access, recruitment of workers from the local community. But the people of Pasrung village still don't understand the objectives and the form of Corporate Social Responsibility. If the community understands compliance with Corporate Social Responsibility, then the community can participate in formulate programs to match what is desired by society itself.
