“…Products and packaging are designed to be safe and ecologically sound through their life cycles; services are designed to be safe and ecologically sound. The scope of issues covered under these principles clearly indicates that in order to make the manufacturing process more sustainable, improvements in the enterprise should concern not only products or technological processes but also the working conditions and well-being of the community, taking into account the product life-cycle perspective (Hąbek & Lavios Villahoz, 2018). It is worth noting that the Lowell Center emphasizes in its approach also such issues as, for example, the leadership and commitment of employees, as well as job security, customer satisfaction, as well as economic achievements.…”

Production activities of companies significantly impact society and environment. It is high time to re-think many of industry’s practices and to change manufacturing processes in a way that allow the company to increase its competitiveness, while at the same time help to achieve sustainable growth. The sustainable production is a concept that is able to strengthen such transformation. The aim of this paper is to present empirical evidence of implementation of the sustainable production practices in the selected company from metal industry. The principles of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production (LCSP) are used as a model to assess the main aspects of sustainable production in practices of the company. Empirical evidence shows that in each of the analysed issue some practices have been implemented, however there were identified some deficit areas. Therefore, at the end of the paper the improvements actions were proposed that could be implemented in the analysed company as part of the sustainable management programme.

This paper deals with the issue of increasing the quality and sustainability of education at universities regarding the requirements of employers. Employers’ expectations of university graduates in terms of soft skills are analysed and outlined. The employers participating in this study answered a questionnaire survey focused on understanding university graduates’ soft skills. The collected results were subjected to the method of mathematical–statistical analysis by nonparametric testing of significance of the mean value difference. The significance of the difference for individual skills was confirmed, demonstrating that the surveyed enterprises required and anticipated a level of soft skills development on the part of recent graduates that was insufficient. This finding implies the necessity of improving university education to match the expected and real state of soft skill mastery.

“…Organizational ethics experts (Fobel, 2013;Habek and Wolniak, 2016;Habek and Villahoz, 2018) wrote about a professional and ethical approach, such as systematically introducing ethics into the organizational environment in companies should be based on considered and sensitively developed ethical programs. They indicated the significant contribution of an ethical program in preventing unethical behaviour and creating a positive reputation combined with credibility and goodwill.…”

The qualitative social changes experiencing in this millennium are characterized primarily by globalization and the internationalization of economic processes. These changes require creating innovative approaches to corporate management to lead to companies’ better economic results and thus provide them with a competitive advantage. Today, companies must respond quickly to the needs of the external and internal environment, be in close contact with customers, and support internal business activity. The paper aims to assess and evaluate selected companies’ ethical credibility in Slovakia based on the research conducted at the Technical University in Zvolen. The results of the research evaluate the risks of ethical credibility in selected companies in Slovakia. The authors build the desired way of behaving and acting of all stakeholders. As a bearer of ethical-moral norms and principles, corporate culture comes to the fore as an indisputable factor in the success of a company in the competition, which acquires a global platform. The currently ongoing economic transformation process creates such conditions for companies’ activities, which require a significant increase in their activities’ efficiency and improved customer needs satisfaction, which causes the need for radical changes. The changes concern in particular, how business entities react to their internal or external environment. Risk is a term that refers to an uncertain outcome with a possible adverse condition. Risk means a threat, a potential problem, the possibility of failure, damage, loss, or destruction. Risk expresses a certain degree of uncertainty, i.e. the probability of achieving a result different from the expected result. Examples of minimizing the risks arising from the unreliability and distrust to employees could improve work efficiency, interpersonal relationships and work ethic, and the work environment. Keywords: ethics, risk, ethical credibility, enterprise, procedure algorithm, research.
