Abstract: This study focuses on presenting the investment in the renewable energy installations and the legal form of beneficiaries aided by the EU funds to show the effects of undertakings consistent with the sustainable development as reflected in Corporate Social Responsibility implemented in rural areas of the Podlaskie Voivodeship. CSR is closely linked to the sustainable development because of its overriding goal that such development satisfies needs of this generation without jeopardizing the possibility of satisfying needs of future generations. Most projects related to renewable energy installations were realised by beneficiaries qualified as partnerships and natural persons conducting business activity (54 entities). In the Podlaskie Voivodeship, solar energy installations were most commonly funded (84) through the end of 2015. In the years 2007-2013, a total of PLN 356 853 658 was allocated to the issues connected with renewable energy development, including 45% for solar energy. The level of EU subsidy totalled PLN 174 575 220, including 55% spent on solar energy use projects.
