One way to gain benefits and priorities among customers, employees, partners and the government - is to be a socially responsible company. The purpose of this paper was to find out whether the employees of various Estonian companies are interested in CSR.

The study consists of two substantive chapters. The first part covers the theoretical approach toward CSR. It enables to get an idea about social responsibility, stakeholders and trace the differences between social responsibility models of continental Europe, UK and Russia. In addition, one obtain information about CSR reporting, CSR reporting forms and the development of CSR reporting in Estonia.

The second part is devoted to quantitative research. The author conducted a survey among Estonian employees and received 60 replies. Then, after analysis of results, author made a conclusion and gave suggestions for the development of the CSR in Estonia.

Results of the study showed that for many people the term "socially responsible company" and "social enterprise reporting" were unknown. The level of awareness about the social responsibility of employees was low. It was also confirmed by the majority of respondents. Therefore, it was hard for respondents to answer the question related to the reporting of social responsibility and to appreciate the importance of CSR. Despite the low level of awareness of employees about CSR, most of them are interested in social activities of their companies. The issue of social responsibility of enterprises as a whole was also interesting for them.

To make the subject more popular among the employees of Estonia, the author proposed the following solutions:

• Organize info-days or workshops for all employees.

• Organize training for managers of the companies, where they would understand benefits and advantages of socially responsible business and preparation of CSR reports.

• Attract more public attention to CSR, by spreading more information on this topic in the mass media.

Author also consider it important to promote social responsible initiatives and practices inside companies.
