We emphasize an increasing trend of positive answers towards the need for a CSR topic or individual subject in tertiary economic education academic curriculum since the concept is attractive and meaningful even for respondents who know little about it before study or before being an employee for a multinational company that has CSR practices and ethical behavior embedded into companies rules and code of conduct. We conclude also the statistically high percentage of employees and managers that want to get involved in CSR through theory and practice. The open questions answers from our respondents underline the undertakings towards education and firm environment voluntary extending to more CSR familiarity with the concepts and concrete actions for their employees and managers in daily activity or in optional courses, workshops, conferences. This lead  to an increasing in the level of social, environment, ethics practices from students first encounter with the concept up to the highest levels of management that participate in corporate governance in big multinational companies.
