Abstract: The development of the approach of organizations to environmental protection went through several stages from the passive approach, which relied on the power of nature to dispose of waste by its own assimilation ability, through the so-called. a reactive approach, based on a control and management strategy, mainly in connection with the adopted legislative measures up to the preventive principle. It is based on the fact that preventing the occurrence of environmental pollution is cheaper and more effective than removing it or bearing its consequences. Instead of focusing on control and management, the focus has been on finding ways to prevent negative phenomena. Businesses demonstrate their environmental responsibility in a variety of ways, such as implementing environmental policy, implementing environmental management systems, environmental audit and publishing their environmental reports. Many of the companies that care about the environment have this information published on their Internet portals, where it is available to the public.
