摘要：The article combines the issues of Corporate Social Responsibility in the context of relations with sector indices representing the mining industry or industry related to them. For research purposes, social responsibility is included in the RESPECT Index (RI) and the idea of social investing. In 2009 Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), implemented the RESPECT Index, which is a response to a changing reality in a sustainable way. The essence and role of non-financial reporting in the field of Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) in the context of the new stock index was emphasized. In the paper, the relationships between key sectors of the economy, on the example of selected indices, i.e. WIG-mining, WIG-fuel, WIG-energy in the aspect of socially responsible companies belonging to the RESPECT Index will be discussed. The article refers to stock exchange mechanisms and the rules of companies belonging to sector indices. The main purpose of the research work was to group and estimate the relationship between Polish industry sectors representing mining, energy and fuel sectors, and the RESPECT Index, along with their identification. To achieve this goal, publicly available stock exchange quotations were used in the selected time period as input data 2014 – 2019. Relationships between indices were calculated using a known measure in the form of a correlation coefficient. This matrix presents the relationships of selected sector indices relative not only to RI but also to each other. The presented analysis shows that RI and WIG-mining have the greatest relationship with each other. For a professional investor focused on the activities of an entity within ESG, such an analysis can be used to make a decision about choosing a company for the investment portfolio. The article ends with the presentation of results and summary.
