Abstract: In this paper we investigate the perceptions of non-profit organizations over the CSR activities and their effects in the Romanian society. By conducting a survey for a sample of 105 NGOs from the most important cities in Romania, we aim to highlight the differences between corporate reports and real effects in our society as it pertains to CSR actions conducted by companies. Over the years, in order to attain legitimacy, corporations have become more transparent and involved in social and environmental issues. In the case of Romania, many actions like this are implemented in a partnership consisting of corporations and NGOs, thus the latter becomes a very important actor in achieving sustainability for our society. The responses highlight the disparity between the reported actions and results and real effects in the community.
