Abstract

The war in Ukraine became a test for many foreign companies from the point of view of implementing the principles of corporate social responsibility, which they had previously declared. This especially affected international businesses, including Polish companies, that actively worked on the Russian and Ukrainian markets, whose economic interests for many years related to cooperation with Russian partners and the sale of Russian goods on the market of Ukraine. This article is devoted to the issue of corporate social responsibility of businesses in the context of Russian military aggression in Ukraine. The main objective of the presented paper was to identify and clarify the role of corporate social responsibility and business attitudes towards corporate social responsibility and its impact on decisions on possible cooperation in times of war. In addition, the specific objective was to identify the effects of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine on business activities conducted by Polish entrepreneurs, considering their attitudes towards corporate social responsibility principles. This goal was achieved through an analysis of the literature on the subject and in-depth interviews conducted with a sample of 100 Polish entrepreneurs. The results indicated that Polish entrepreneurs felt significant negative consequences of the conflict. After Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, most surveyed companies suspended (47,1%) or ended cooperation (43.1%) with Russian partners or exported products to Russia. Contrary to expectations, only some companies (18.4%) cited corporate social responsibility values among the reasons for this decision. It was also shown that there was no relationship between corporate social responsibility involvement and the declared ratings of companies remaining in Russia. In addition, companies reporting to suspend their activities during the conflict are considering a return to earlier cooperation in the future.
俄罗斯军事侵略乌克兰背景下的企业社会责任
从实施企业社会责任原则的角度来看,乌克兰战争成为许多外国公司的一个考验,它们此前曾宣布过这些原则。这尤其影响到积极在俄罗斯和乌克兰市场上工作的国际企业,包括波兰公司,这些公司多年来的经济利益与俄罗斯伙伴的合作以及在乌克兰市场上销售俄罗斯商品有关。本文致力于探讨俄罗斯军事侵略乌克兰背景下企业的社会责任问题。本文的主要目的是确定和澄清企业社会责任的作用和企业对企业社会责任的态度及其对战时可能合作决策的影响。此外,具体目标是确定俄罗斯对乌克兰的侵略对波兰企业家开展的商业活动的影响,考虑到他们对企业社会责任原则的态度。这一目标是通过对这一主题的文献进行分析和对100名波兰企业家进行深入访谈来实现的。结果表明,波兰企业家感受到冲突的显著负面影响。在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后,大多数受访企业暂停(47.1%)或终止与俄罗斯合作伙伴的合作(43.1%)或向俄罗斯出口产品。与预期相反,只有部分企业(18.4%)选择了“企业社会责任价值观”。报告还显示,参与企业社会责任与在俄企业公布的评级之间没有关系。此外,报告在冲突期间暂停活动的公司正在考虑在未来恢复早期的合作。
