Abstract: Social responsibility reports can be defined as the provision of financial and non financial information relating to an organisation’s interaction with its physical and social environment, as stated in corporate annual reports or separate social reports. Information on social responsibility has started to appear in corporate annual reports in recent years. Social responsibility reporting practices are different between developed and developing countries and the nature and patterns of reporting vary between different sectors. Besides that the literature has provided little emprical examination of patterns of social responsibility reporting in newly indusrialized countries. For this reason this study aims on current situation of social responsibility practices as qualitative and quantitative indicators in Turkey. The research hasbeen done by document research aimed at firms which are in ISE 100 index
