2023
Pavlović, Aleksandra
Nowadays, economies around the world face various environmental problems, such as: fires, floods, high CO2 emissions and global warming, shortage of natural resources caused by their abuse and excessive consumption, etc. These problems are particularly difficult for developing countries, including Serbia. Hence, all three pillars - economic, ecological and social are important for achieving sustainable development goals. However, researchers from the field of ecological economics agree that the ecological pillar of sustainable development is the most important, especially because it is often put on the back burner. There is no law or procedure that will force companies to be environmentally responsible. The family of standards ISO 14000 - Environmental Management System (EMS) is not mandatory, ie. adoption of ISO 14000 is optional. However, in order to survive on the domestic and global market, companies around the globe have started to gain environmental awareness and implement EMS in their business in recent years, precisely because an environmentally responsible company is a desirable company. The aim of this paper is to indicate the environmental condition and implementation of EMS in Serbian companies, which would be useful for policy makers and raising environmental awareness in the country.
