Abstract

The article presents a method of making a comprehensive assessment of corporate social responsibility based on the use of graphic form. The proposed map of the overall responsibility assessment is a two-dimensional coordinate system that takes into account two areas of evaluation: corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) and two criteria for assessing these areas: the extent of impact on stakeholders and intentionality/strategicity.
