Absract. The text presents the results of a survey among 58 owners or managers
of commercial companies that have sustainably implemented an environmental
management system through their ISO 14001 certification. The study of management
representatives is based on the understanding that business organizations play the role of intermediaries in environmental policy and the potential change of their behavior multiplies the effects of the interventions on the behavior of others
- business partners, employees, and consumers. The data can be used to explain
the real processes of pro-environmental policies in the country and improve them
taking into account the established barriers and obstacles to the pro-environmental
behavior of the studied group.
