Abstract: Abstract The case of CSR for businesses in Greece has gone through the stages of adaptation for catching up to EU and international regulations and practice to a second level consideration under the suppressive and difficult economic conditions of our times. Although the CSR contributions of big Greek corporations with major holdings in external markets remained unaffected the smaller ones that mainly relied on the Greek market for their business have shifted their focus to their own survival and to a much lesser extent their contribution to CSR activities. This paper presents an overview of the CSR field in Greece and the perspective of effective CSR contributors through selected brief case studies.
