- Abstract
In recent years, companies have been encouraged to become socially responsible and invest into socially responsible activities. The concept of social responsibility adopted in scientific literature is too complex and comprises corporate citizenship, sustainable development, management of stakeholders, environmental management, business ethics and corporate social performance. On the other hand, contemporary scientific literature about social responsibility emphasises the link between social responsibility and performance of a company. This paper focuses on analysis of social responsibility. The emphasis is placed on philanthropic responsibility and the link between the philanthropic responsibility and performance. Furthermore, it discusses tendencies of corporate social responsibility in Lithuania. The controversial views toward social responsibility have created preconditions to formulate the following research questions: (1) Does a strong positive relationship between philanthropic responsibility and performance of a production company exist? (2) Is the relationship negative or inexistent? The obtained results of research have led to the conclusion, that philanthropic activity doesn't increase profitability of a selected production company. The research of the authors contributes to other findings and implies that socially responsible activities of a company have a different impact on profit.
