Purpose There are different ways of implementing a corporate social responsibility (CSR) system. One interesting way of implementing a CSR system is based on standards such as SA8000 and ISO 26000. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the differences brought by the two standards in European manufacturing in CSR implementation using a survey. Design/methodology/approach Eight hypotheses were derived from an analysis of the implementation pattern for a CSR management system revealed from a review of the literature as well as from the actual two investigated standards. A questionnaire based on these hypotheses was administered to the CSR managers of 326 European manufacturing companies. A χ2 and Cramer’s V-tests were used to validate the results. The CSR managers also added comments to their responses. The qualitative results gathered from the respondents’ comments helped the authors’ to better understand the quantitative data. Findings The results showed differences in how the standards affect strategies, economic and financial issues, stakeholders involved, environmental management, customer and market issues, supply chain management and CSR key performance indicators. The results indicated that it is not clear how production and technical departments can be involved in and committed to such standards or, in general, to a CSR system. Research limitations/implications The research is based on a sample of European manufacturing managers and limited to the implementation of two specific CSR standards. Practical implications The differences between the standards should be interesting to practitioners who are thinking of implementing a CSR system in a manufacturing context and weighing the pros and cons of each standard. Originality/value This research analyses, for the first time, the differences in CSR implementation brought by SA8000 and ISO 26000 in manufacturing and, in particular, in production and technical departments.

Corporate social responsibility is in the focus of many companies in recent years. It becomes a way of sustainability for many companies on the market. It expresses a voluntary commitment of companies to behave responsibly to their surroundings within three pillars: economic, social and environmental one. The issue of social responsibility is developing in many European countries and European Commission is aiming at support for national CSR strategies. There are countries with highly developed CSR, on the other hand there are countries, such as the Czech Republic, where a public policy is being reformed, including discussions about CSR. This paper supports the idea that states should encourage social responsibility, as it allows businesses to become sustainable which leads to the stability of the economy. CSR activities can be focused on philanthropy, the care of the employees, the environment and transparency of economic activities. The process of CSR certification is important in the development of CSR in the Czech Republic. It allows companies to demonstrate their activities and visible achievements in this field. This paper describes the most popular types of certifications that are used in the Czech Republic and standards that do not have certification purposes, but they are very important. These are standards SA 8000, ISO 26000, ISO 9001, ISO 9004, ISO 9000, ISO 14001, ISO 14004, OHSAS 18001, IQNet SR 10 and the National Quality Policy.

The scientific article considers the issues of corporate social responsibility management. The main approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of corporate social responsibility measures are considered and the basic principles of evaluating the corporate social responsibility management system are determined. The basic principles of evaluation of the system of corporate social responsibility of the enterprise are analyzed, the main ones of which are: universality, predominance of performance indicators rather than efficiency, differentiation of indicators of external and internal environments instruments of strategic benchmarking in the social sphere in certain areas, such as training and development of employees, charity and sponsorship. A system of types of organizational profile is proposed in assessing the balance of corporate social responsibility management system, which takes into account the assessment of retrospective indicators, assessing the current state of corporate social responsibility and assessing the prospects of corporate social responsibility. The criteria for assessing the accumulated organizational experience in the field of corporate social responsibility and social investment, the criteria for assessing the current state of the corporate social responsibility system, the criteria for assessing the prospects for the development of the corporate social responsibility system are studied. The scheme of determining the type of organizational profile in assessing the balance of the corporate social responsibility system of the company and the system of four types: dynamic, indicates the company’s intention to make the area of corporate social responsibility a strategic factor of competitiveness; a balanced type of profile, which at a relatively high level of individual assessments speaks of a balanced social policy and successful practice of social investment; regressive profile, which signals to management that in the future the company may lose the benefits of sustainable development related to the social sphere and special attention should be paid to investment policy, risk assessment of social investment and balanced development of intellectual and social capital and the inertial profile reflects the complete absence of any CSR planning in the company.
