Deloitte: The map of Corporate Social Responsibility strategies and their social impact

The survey was carried out from July 2025 to October 2025, while the sample included companies from all key sectors of the Greek economy (professional services, financial and insurance institutions, consumer products, tourism, technology, telecommunications, energy, retail and logistics), with 56% of companies employing more than 250 employees and almost half having a turnover of more than 50 million euros.

According to the findings of the survey, social responsibility is a pillar of business strategy in Greece. 78% of companies consider social impact a key management priority, while 64% state that they have a fully developed and documented CSR strategy. The vision of top management and social expectations play a decisive role in shaping the strategy (61% respectively), while strengthening the corporate image acts as a complementary lever (58%).
At the organizational level, 39% of companies have a specialized team, while 47% assign tasks to roles with broader responsibilities.

CSR budgets vary considerably, with 36% of companies investing up to 50,000 euros, 36% between 50,001-200,000 euros and 28% over 200,000 euros annually. It is worth noting that most companies (53%) expect some increase in funds in the coming years, reflecting the recognition of the strategic importance of the sector.

CSR actions of companies focus mainly on the environment (75%) and education (72%). This is followed by responding to emergency needs (50%), inclusion and diversity (47%), donations in kind (47%) and supporting vulnerable populations (36%). Companies with higher budgets have the opportunity to develop multidimensional initiatives, while the rest focus on more targeted pillars.
