Responsible pro-environmental management in an organization: A case study

This publication presents a case study of responsible environmental management on the example of a Polish organization having the objective of municipal waste management. The results of the conducted analyses allow to conclude that the organization is well prepared to implement an environmental management system compliant with the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 standard. This publication presents and characterises environmental programmes which are implemented by the organization. The purpose of this publication is to present, on the example of a selected organization, the adaptation to the implementation of the environmental management system compliant with ISO 14001:2015 standard and to analyse the benefits obtained by the organization as a result of implementing the environmental management system. The car-ried-out surveys suggest that pro-environmental activities undertaken by the organization will bring numerous benefits. The benefits can include, inter alia, increased customer confidence, improved image of the organization and thus an increase in the number of services provided by the company. Environmental performance indicators will be carried out for the assessment of the functioning of the implemented environmental management system. This will allow an effective identification of the areas that require improvement.
