Summary
The purpose of this study is to present the results of scientific research on Corpo-rate Social Responsibility reporting. The subject of the research comprises Bulgarian business organizations, while its scope is the theoretical aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility reporting and the extent to which Bulgarian enterprises use the capacity of the United Nations Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative. The realiza-tion of the research objective encompasses the following tasks: research and analysis of the existing theoretical aspects and practical dimensions of the reporting of corpo-rate social responsibility and social reports; exploring and analysing the communiqués of the progress of the UN Global Compact and the Reporting Guidelines developed by the Global Reporting Initiative; analysing and assessing the extent to which Bulgarian enterprises integrate corporate social responsibility reporting into their management systems by implementing globally validated structures. The fundamental research the-sis that is being defended is that a very small share of Bulgarian enterprises reports their corporate social responsibility using the communiqués of the progress of the UN Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative Reporting Guidelines. The results of the empirical research of the three largest social report databases (the Corporate Register, the UN Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative) prove the assumed thesis and identify the existence of significant problems with the reporting of corporate social responsibility by Bulgarian business organizations.
