Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility as a Tool for Creating the Future of Environmental Protection

The level of environmental safety culture depends on many factors, including the influence of parents and the education system, the media and the quality of life. In the current Economy 4.0, globalization, increasing greenhouse effect, etc., it is the information and education system and the pro-environmental strategic actions undertaken by organizations that are beginning to play a significant role in building awareness and care for the environment. It is precisely the environmental corporate social responsibility, both of state institutions, the legislator, business entities and society (every citizen) that can significantly change the phenomenon of environmental degradation. The aim of the article is to present the essence of ecological corporate social responsibility and the activities undertaken by selected market stakeholders. The analysis carried out implies that ECSR is built through the implementation of pro-environmental stakeholder's actions, e.g. legislative changes, implementation of management systems according to ISO standards, use of renewable energy sources, etc. that aim at ensuring safety or improving the current state of the environment.
