Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyse and evaluate corporate social responsibility practices as a response of companies to the expectations of a wide range of stakeholders. In the article, the authors perceive CSR practices as a way of conducting market activities in accordance with the expectations of stakeholders, with those not being a one-time act but a continuous effort to improve the areas of the company’s environment requiring support and the entity selected for analysis-which is a Polish energy industry capital group-Energa Group. It is a large entity whose activities can significantly and, in many ways, affect the environment. The analysis was based on secondary sources, including, in particular, the cyclical CSR reports and non-financial reports of the Energa Group. The research results show the trends of changes in CSR practices in the analysed company over the last 10 years (2011–2021), which can be used in the formulation of subsequent CSR programmes of the Energa Group and provide inspiration for other entities.
