Despite the growing awareness of societies and the plurality of the ideas of sustainable development, this vision has been still insufficiently introduced into life in many aspects. The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) system, which promotes actions in the sphere of environmental protection to a greater extent than ISO standards, continuous planning of new actions for pro-ecological investments included, can make up an example. Still, the EMAS system is not popular enough, neither in most EU Member States nor in other countries around the world. Between 2010 and 2016 in Poland, an increased interest in the EMAS system could be noticed but now, a kind of stagnation can be observed. Some entities resign from further taking part in the system, and new ones are far from being numerous. The participation in the system seems not attractive enough from the perspective of private sector entities, which is confirmed by the survey carried out by the author. Despite this, for 93 % of private sector companies surveyed, the EMAS system positively affects the image of the organization rather than the economic effects. This may be signalling some necessary changes in the principles of this system operation.
