When analysing the current financial service market, it can be observed that the engagement of credit institutions in implementing the CSR idea is no longer a trend but a necessity arising from the considerations of contemporary economies. Examinations of the basic financial values of a bank, such as ROE and ROA, allows the conclusion that socially responsible banks are in a good economic situation in comparison to the entire banking sector. They are economically effective institutions. It is proved, among others, by the ratios values obtained in both analyses, both for the Respect Index and the Ranking Odpowiedzialnych Firm ranking list. Engagement in implementing the social corporate responsibility idea does not exclude the maintenance of a stable financial position on the competitive financial service market.
