CSR: strategy or social washing?

In July 2026, I took a deep dive into corporate CSR strategies, looking beyond statements and benefit packages to ask what social responsibility actually looks like in day-to-day business decisions. For Warsaw Business Journal, I spoke with experts and industry leaders about the policies shaping today’s workplace.

I explored:

• Employee well-being and mental health, and the growing business cost of stress, burnout, absenteeism and disengagement.

• Generational policies at work, including what the data really tells us about Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X, and why life stage may matter more than generational labels.

• Disability inclusion and the untapped labor pool, with more than one million people with disabilities still outside Poland’s labor market despite widespread talent shortages.

• The line between genuine CSR strategy and social washing, and how companies can turn social commitments into measurable decisions about talent, productivity, resilience and growth.
