Abstract: The process of globalization and the pressure to achieve and maintain the competitiveness of the enterprise on domestic and international market have in recent years underlined a sharp increase in the need to evaluate Corporate Scoial Responsibility (CSR). The aim of the paper is to propose a self-assessment of socially responsible business in the postal environment. The folloving research methods were used to fullfill the aim of the paper: methods of obtaining and collecting information (compilation, selection), methods of information processing (excerption, analysis, synthesis, comparison, concretization) and methods of evaluation and interpretation of results (abstraction, induction, deduction, determination, generalization). Taking into account the theoretical definitions, the specifics of the postal company and the findings of secondary research, an evaluation sheet (checklist) can be proposed as a basis for self-assessment of CSR in four areas - economic, social, environmental and legal. The main component of the checklist is a self-assessment questionnaire, consisting of 62 questions. The questions are grouped under four items: economic, social, environmental and legal. Summary score of a specific area of CSR is an indicator of categorizing postal company into one of the four developmental stages of applying the principles of CSR.
