The study of the dynamie finaneial liquidity of enterprises on the basis of seleeted ratios eonsisted of two parts. In the first part of the study, a series of medians was determined for eaeh of the liquidity ratios in partieular seetors. Eaeh element of the series is assoeiated with the quarter from whieh the data eame. The ratios within sectors were then compared so that coexistence of changes over time, shifts in rela- tion to one another, or the lack of clear interdependencies could be observed. Unlike the first part, which covered the relationship between the different ratios within a sector, the second part focuses on cross-sectoral comparative analysis. Descriptive statistics based on quantiles were derived for data covering the entire period under consideration and for all enterprises in the sector. Half of the surveyed listed companies (i.e. all the ratio values between the first and third quartiles), were adopted as the central standard. Numerical values of standards for particular ratios and sectors are presented in a tabular form.

The article refers to the issues of financial profitability of undertaking CSR activities, which is widely reported in literature. The four largest electricity producing companies in Poland were selected for the analysis. The research period covers the years 2009–2019, when the index of socially responsible companies was operating on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The main purpose of the article is to compare the profitability ratios and quotations of energy companies in Poland declaring themselves socially responsible with companies of the same sector that have not expressed such a declaration. The results obtained on the basis of descriptive statistics, concerning profitability ratios and stock market quotations, indicate no relationship between their level and stability and the companies’ declarations of compliance with social responsibility. Companies declaring themselves socially responsible were placed in the ranking between the results of companies that did not belong to the indicated index. This may be the result of the specific situation of energy companies in Poland.
