Due to the rising importance of the global interdependence, decisions related to supplier selection rely on not only corporate operation conditions, but also corporate social responsibility (CSR). Under this circumstance, this chapter focuses on a supplier selection problem concerning CSR. Particularly, seven criteria and their corresponding importance for supplier selection are analyzed. Meanwhile, some relevant sub-criteria are included as well. Based on existing literature review and managerial interviews obtained from leaders in the southern region of India, these issues are compared and ranked. In this chapter, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is conducted to identify the importance of these considered criteria and sub-criteria. Finally, the chapter concludes with a presentation of rankings and priorities of the proposed seven criteria. Given the obtained results and recommendations, it would be helpful to establish a useful method for selecting the best supplier based on CSR.

The notion of Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is still stirring debate over how it should be interpreted, what models of CSR dominate in business practice, and consequences of enterprises’ engagement into socially responsible actions. While business practice demonstrates that companies voluntarily include social and environmental issues into their activities and into their relations with stakeholders, it is hard to determine what intentions motivate them to do so. This paper analyses selected aspects of discussions focused on the notion of CSR and identifies controversies over the standardisation of ethical and social business activities.

In the future managers will have to take into account in their everyday decision-making processes the values promoted by corporate social responsibility. Apart from the consideration of the problems related to the market, profitability, sources of financing, etc. much attention will have to be paid to economic, social and ecological results of business activities, so to the ideas that form the foundations of the concept of corporate social responsibility. However, if businesses are to apply any new concept, method or management technique, it is necessary to familiarize themselves with it first. Therefore, the objective of the present research is the identification of the degree of the awareness of CSR concepts, their scope and the frequency of socially-responsible behaviours displayed among economic entities representing the warmińsko-mazurski region. The research objective was presented in the form of a question: Are companies operating in the warmińsko-mazurski region aware of the existence of the concepts of corporate social responsibility and do they understand them? In the light of the above objective the following research hypothesis was formulated: Entrepreneurs and employees of companies operating in the warmińsko-mazurskie province are familiarised with CSR concepts but to a small degree only and activities undertaken by them in this scope are usually of a temporary character and do not contribute to building the image of socially-responsible businesses. The studies were diagnostic and the research method applied was a diagnostic survey based on the developed questionnaire.
