Abstract: Protecting the environment is essential to the quality of life for present and future generations, and the current challenge is the combination of environmental protection with economic growth continues in a way that is sustainable. Companies and NGOs role in protecting the environment is part of the sustainable development strategy promoted by the state to civil society pressure, requiring NGOs to be consulted by industrial companies to work with environmental impact. The concept is today known as social responsibility (CRS) and implies greater attention to organizations in decision making concerning environmental protection. Thus, today, foreign partners are more concerned than ever about the manner in which managers run their businesses, particularly in certain industries, with a major impact on the environment. This study aims to highlight the involvement of the Romanian society in protecting the environment as part of sustainable development.
