Corporate social responsibility is in line with ethical, legal and business expectations, as well as with what society expects from companies, or exceeds such expectations. It is a relatively new concept that began to develop after the awareness of the need for a responsible society, in the 60s and 70s of the last century. Today, the same way of doing business is encouraged, and in a few years it will probably be prescribed by law, but also imposed by the state. The paper presents selected features of the application of the concept of corporate social responsibility in HEP Group. HEP Group perceives socially responsible entrepreneurship in a way that suits them and not in the way it should be. It is difficult to assess the application of socially responsible entrepreneurship on the example of HEP Group when they themselves dictate the pace of introduction of the strategies themselves, given that they are practically monopolists in the market, more precisely they cover over 90% of the market. The aim of the empirical research was to analyze the perception of the general public about the application of the concept in HEP. The research instrument was an online survey. The study included 230 people. The research showed that the vast majority of respondents do not understand the very concept of socially responsible entrepreneurship, confusing the concept with their own perception. The perception of the HEP Group is positive in half of the respondents and negative in the other half.
