“…For this reason, the comparative analysis of these indicators values is hampered, even in the case of companies having the same business profiles. As a result, institutions, e.g., public offices, rarely evaluate the environmental indicators in the field of energy efficiency due to the inability to monitor them, because the administration of these elements (e.g., energy use) is conducted by other entities [24]. Szyszka and Matuszak-Flejszman, in their article [25], have proposed the system recommendations which should be considered, among others, by the local authorities, national competent bodies, as well as organization representatives.…”

“…It should be noted that Polish organizations which have already introduced ISO 14001 standard can implement EMAS with relatively little effort [28]. The basic reasons why the organizations should register for EMAS are, among others, corporate social responsibility (CSR), climate protection, increases in energy efficiency, use of renewable energy sources, legal compliance, supply chain management, and green public procurement (GPP) [24]. Although the international standard, ISO 14001, was published three years later than the first EMAS regulation, the interest of Polish organizations in implementing ISO 14001 is much greater.…”

The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare the benefits of and barriers to the implementation of Environmental Management Systems (EMS)—International Standard ISO 14001 and Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)—by organizations. This paper attempts to answer the following research questions: 1. Does the implementation of either ISO 14001 or EMAS bring the same benefits and barriers to organizations? 2. Does the system functioning duration in the company influence internal and external benefits resulting from EMS implementation? 3. Are economic aspects of EMS adoption as important for entrepreneurs as the ecological aspects? This topic is important due to the large disproportions appearing in recent years between the number of companies registered in ISO 14001 and in EMAS, and due to relatively frequent cases of non-renewal of EMAS certifications in recent years. It is crucial because each EMS certified institution has implemented procedures which contribute to better protection of the natural environment. The study was conducted in the form of a survey; questions and answers were specified based on the literature review and the authors’ research. Results indicate that the knowledge-based and organizational problems, as well as the time invested in preparing the documentation, are much more significant than financial problems associated with EMS implementation. Even organizations that previously introduced ISO 14001 still have difficulties with EMAS implementation. The perception of benefits resulting from EMS introduction is related to the system functioning duration in the company. The analysis shows that it is necessary to strengthen economic incentives in order to enable the widest possible dissemination of EMS among companies. Research results can contribute to further simplification and increases in EMS implementation, which may lead to more sustainable development and climate change mitigation, inter alia, due to the improvement in energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

“…Dynamically progressing changes in the world economy are forcing production companies to constantly improve their functioning, both in terms of management and in the field of production (Pacana, Czerwińska, and Grebski, 2021). Therefore, enterprises are looking for new management tools (including logistics management) and methods of measuring effectiveness (Hajduk-Stelmachowicz, 2001;Piętowska-Laska, 2012;Hajduk-Stelmachowicz, 2018;Szydełko and Szydełko, 2013). Inquiries related to the nature, measurement and assessment of economic efficiency in the context of enterprise management are very intense (March and Sutton, 1997).…”

The purpose of the article was to present the activities implemented and applied by Polish enterprises registered in the EMAS system, which are significant in the context of the enforcement of the energy policy assumptions. In order to achieve this goal, at the outset, selected assumptions of Poland’s energy policy were characterized and activities that could serve their implementation were presented. Then, the EMAS system requirements, relevant to the implementation of selected policy assumptions, were described. The rest of the article presents the results of own research. The basis of the research method used was the analysis of secondary sources in the form of environmental declarations of Polish enterprises registered in the EMAS system. Based on the analysis, it was found that the surveyed enterprises have taken actions that may be relevant to the implementation of the main directions of the energy policy regarding: improvement of energy efficiency, development of the use of renewable energy sources and reduction of the negative impact of the energy sector on the environment
