Corporate social responsibility is a relatively new term in business in Croatia. This thesis covers on one hand socially responsible business and on the other hand waste management, the environmental segment of socially responsible business. We are witnessing everyday problems with waste managing and disposing and this thesis makes a short analysis construction waste. Care for the community is becoming more and more important. Companies and entrepreneurs are paying more attention to the environmental business segment, both through day-to-day work and the implementation of elements of community care and as a confirmation of long-term investment in this aspect of social responsibility. The notion of socially responsible business implies the obligation of entrepreneurs, managers, but also the company itself to make decisions that will be in the interest and profit of the entire company in which the company operates, as well as the sole business. Corporate social responsibility is already widespread in Europe and it is slowly entering Croatia as well.. The European Union expects its operations from all its members in line with long-term sustainable development. In most cases socially responsible business is associated with large companies. Today there is a growing number of small and medium-sized enterprises that implement their socially responsible business strategy in their business. The strategy of socially responsible business is becoming more and more widespread because of its better business results and the acquisition of a certain competitive advantage. Socially responsible business includes three elements: social, economic and environmental. Significant segments of corporate social responsibility are also non-financial reports. Environmental reporting is responsible for business practice and continuous improvement of business processes aimed at achieving greater environmental efficiency and competitiveness as well as sustainability of a business entity.
