Peter Karácsony

 

Environmental protection is a very important segment of our lives. If we do not pay enough attention to it there will be serious problems in the near future. The goal of this study was to present current practices and approaches to environmental aspects of Corporate  Social Responsibility (CSR) in the case of some Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises. During the research a questionnaire survey was conducted. Based on the results, the coronavirus crisis had a significant impact on the environmental activity of Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises have been hit hardest by the 1st and 2nd wave of the coronavirus crisis. According to the surveyed data, there is a strong correlation between the coronavirus crisis and the environmental targets. Due to the financial difficulties, Hungarian enterprises had to reduce their budget for supporting environmental protection.
