According to the norm ISO 26000 social responsibility is defined as responsibility of an organisation for the impacts of its decisions and activities on society and the environment, through transparent and ethical behaviour that:
- contributes to sustainable development, including health and the welfare of society;
- takes into account the expectations of stakeholders;
- is in compliance with applicable and consistent with international norms of behaviour; and
- is integrated throughout the organisation and practised in its relationships.

The issue of social responsibility of higher education institutions (HEIs) has been explored and discussed in recent years. In the studies conducted between 2007 and 2010, nearly 90% of the authorities of HEIs operating in Poland declared that they were familiar with the topic and considered it as an important issue. Similar opinions were shared by the majority among 122 heads of HEIs from 46 nations who participated in the study. Nowadays, we are able to draw some conclusions, predict possible directions of development and seek new solutions.
