Original Abstract

The contribution focuses on the identification of social performance indicators, i.e. the key ESG performance indicators. Successive stages and various statistical methods were applied to draft social indicators. The first stage included the method of selection of social indicators from the international sources of organizations and voluntary social tools; subsequently, a questionnaire was drawn up. Empirical analysis was undertaken in the years 2011-2012 in 79 companies involved in the processing per CZ-NACE. Univariate analysis of all variables preceded all stages of the selection of social indicators. T-test was used to test the relations among CSR and social indicators. Cluster analysis studied the file of social indicators in the subsequent stage of research; reduced social indicators to measure corporate performance were developed accordingly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contribution focuses on the identification of social performance indicators, i.e. the key ESG performance indicators.
