Kodeksy dobrych praktyk jako wyraz społecznej odpowiedzialności korporacji

Abstract

The author draws attention to the process of internationalization of Polish labour law. One of its stages was to assimilate the achievements of the International Labour Organization, Council of Europe and the European Union social law. The challenge now is the law created by transnational corporations through agreements with the employees or by self-regulation by the same companies. The results of this self-regulation are primarily codes of conduct, which are expression of the so-called corporate social responsibility. Codes of ethics are becoming labor law issue. The author analyzes the relationship between the provisions of the codes and the national legal order, particularly in the area of labour relations, pointing at the progressive transformation of ethical rules into legal ones.
