Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This article aims to examine the level of ESG culture in Polish enterprises and indicate premises for implementation in the mining industry. The publication conducts a multi-criteria analysis of literature regarding companies’ approaches to ESG standards. The study focuses on shaping organisational culture by utilising knowledge management tools. The actual level of ESG culture among respondents was obtained through a survey. Survey results for individual groups are presented in comprehensive and averaged radar charts. The sample included employees from small, medium, and large companies, considering their tenure and the industry in which the enterprise operates. The pilot study enabled drawing many constructive conclusions. However, noticeable significant gaps in ESG-compliant organisational culture were observed. Companies primarily focus on their core activities, neglecting socially significant values and building additional employee bonds. Through the analysis of survey data, guidelines for implementing ESG reporting in specific areas were developed. Potential solutions to problematic issues for enterprises were also identified. The research has significant potential, and expanding the scope could directly impact the quality of reporting and the development of enterprises including entities in the mining industry.
