description The article reviews the core conceptual aspects of the corporate social responsibility as a principle of business viability, and then focuses on the relevant practices adopted by major international retail chains operating on the Polish market. The empirical background consists of fact-based accounts, drawn from either corporate websites or retail companies' reports, with a view to generating a kaleidoscopic "rich picture" of current practices.
