Abstract

The transition towards the application of responsible corporate management practices requires changes in many areas of enterprise operations. An additional challenge is their implementation under the conditions of changes in enterprise operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the courses of action at this time is to adopt a management strategy that considers the balance of social, environmental and economic interests. The purpose of this article is to analyse responsible management practices undertaken by enterprises in the area of management with particular emphasis on the impact of the SARS-Covid-2 pandemic. Conclusions rely on the results of research carried out in July 2021 on a research sample of 1007 purposively selected small, medium and large enterprises as part of the research project entitled “Responsible Management Barometer” conducted by the Institute of Management of the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH).
