The issue of sustainability, or corporate social responsibility (CSR), has become a widely discussed topic in all industrial production sectors. The article focuses on the automobile industrial sector because it is not only the most dynamically developing industrial area but also because it is one of the driving forces of local economies in many European countries. This paper aims to reveal possible differences and diversity of understanding of priorities in the CSR activities provided by automotive suppliers in European countries. Based on the meta-analysis, 73 actions were listed, and a questionnaire survey was performed. Cluster analysis and Fisher’s exact test were applied to find out whether the attitude towards sustainability differs dependent on the position in the supply chain or on the company size.
