ABSTRACT
Dynamic changes in the economies around the world, but also the
economic crisis, which in recent years has led to major changes across all
sectors of the economies and caused nuisance not only for entrepreneurs,
but just as much to consumers. Socio-economic changes meant that, in
practice, modern business new, more substantial issues became more important
social responsibility and sustainable development organization,
respecting the legally guaranteed protection of consumer rights. In accordance
of the concept of CSR the responsibility lies with business representatives
liable for environmental degradation, as well as social environment.
Bearing the consequences of all business activities takes place with the active
participation of consumers who, in the era of the information society,
have the opportunities to obtain accurate information about the manufacturers
and suppliers, products and services, and based on this information
can make their consumer choices.
Based on the analysis of the legal provisions in this article I summarized
the most important conclusions concerning the respect of the rights
of consumers, which is the right to information in the context of actions
consistent with the concept of sustainable development and CSR of consumers
of cosmetic products. In addition to the above mentioned issues in
the content I referred also to the specific category of consumer products,
which are cosmetic products and highlighted the risks of violations of consumer
rights to information in the context of their marketing and use.
