Abstract: Abstract The paper presents the Corporate Social Responsibility in the public sector of Romania, offering an image on the role of the public authorities, different than that of the private sector. There are a lot of differences between the two sectors and the state should focus on two aspects: the public sector as a responsible actor, involving itself in CSR projects and the relation between the private and the public sector, where the state should offer the background for a proper implementation of CSR projects by the private companies. The issue is of a great importance, taking into consideration that CSR, competitiveness and economic and social progress are linked in a great extent. The potential of the research is high and challenging, because the CSR in the public sector of Romania is not very well spread. The main objectives are: highlighting the tendencies in implementing the European Directives related to CSR; establishing the obstacles in front of a higher CSR activity in the public sector; offering solutions to strengthen the partnership between the public and private partners. The research methodology includes the analysis of the data gathered from public authorities, the comparison between the public and the private sector in implementing CSR projects and also a quantitative research applied on employees and managers in the public sector, in order to understand the level of knowledge and awareness regarding CSR. The results of the research will consist in offering solutions to improve the number of CSR projects in the public sector and increase the support offered by the state in creating an adequate background for private companies.
