Social responsibility as a means towards sustainability in timber industry. Concerns about social responsibility have become an increasingly high profile issue in many countries, industries and businesses. The forest industry is one of the most sensitive sectors payingthe crucial role in global sustainable development due to its unique role in industrial development, globalization of economy and increase of social awareness about forest and timber business. The main purpose of the article is to approach theoretically the SR strategy in timber industry by taking into consideration legal and ethical, reputational and social points of view. The second - is to give a simple overview how SR is implemented by the Polish company registered in the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The website of companies registered on the Warsaw Stock Exchangeis recognized as a reliable and valuable source of information due to the WSE strategy based on the principles of corporate social responsibility. As a main conclusion of the examination one may stress that although the data gathered in this article is not adequate enough the Polish timber industry does not perceive the sustainability as its major objective. The companies accept only legal requirements and standards. If they carry out socially responsible activities, it is due to a necessity to be visible and perceived as a liable organization.
