H. KrukOther principles connected with the above-mentioned issues also may be cited, forinstance: the necessity of land reclamation after finishing the activity or compulsorylicensing of selected natural resources exploitation being among such ones [Borys,Śleszyński 1999, p. 84, 91].Enterprise operation should be performed in compliance with the aforementionedprinciples. It is also worth mentioning that environmental law in developed countries isbecoming stricter and all business entities must obey it. Apart from adapting their activityto obligatory regulations, enterprises also conduct voluntary actions resulting inimproving environmental state or the quality of life (social welfare). There are usuallyactions taken within the limits of corporate social responsibility (CSR) or implementationof environmental management systems, including ecological certification.Review of the above-mentioned principles allows to prepare a short list of essentialknowledge for the managers and the individuals managing their own business. Thereare several issues related to greening the economy, namely: jurisprudence (especiallyenvironmental regulations, for instance: conditions of license granting for exploitationof resources, license for pollution emissions, noise, water usage, waste storing etc.),product standards, implementations of environmental management systems (or, formicro- and small enterprises: knowledge about possible low-energy and raw materialsaving solutions), at least basic knowledge about relationship in ecosystems, methodsof estimation and economic evaluation of environment and natural resources, cognizanceof environmental impact assessment procedure, possibility of financing ecologicalsolutions and innovations from external sources, CSR strategies etc. Relatively fewuniversities pass such working knowledge to the students during economics or managementfields of study.3. Effects of pro-ecological solutions at the enterprises’ levelEnterprises have several opportunities for actions resulting in a more effective useof natural resources and improving the state of the environment. Some authors believethat such activity influences enhanced enterprises’ competitiveness [Porter, van derLinde 1995, p. 120-122, 129, 133-134].Several benefits from ecological modernisations in firms may be listed, namely[Elliott, 2013, p. 49-50; Ejdys 2007, p. 294-295; Porter, van der Linde 1995, s.120,126]:1. compliance of economic activities with applicable environmental law,2. improvement of the product quality and their safety enhancement with simultaneousproduction costs’ decrease,3. heightened effectiveness of resource usage during production process (includingtheir re-use and recycling), energy use reduction,4. improved utilisation of by-products,105
Environmental aspects of entrepreneurship – necessity in business education5. limitation of negative environmental impact (and, ultimately, improving the standardof living),6. creation of customers’ ecological awareness, development of “green” consumptionand less harmful adverse environmental effect,7. improving the image of the enterprise and confidence boost,8. integrated policy during preparation of new products (services), taking into accountproduct and resources’ recycling, their processing or re-use and the entire productlife cycle (cradle-to-grave analysis) as well as implementation of environmentalmanagement systems,9. reduction of costs related to ecological duty (or fine) or diminution of insurancepremium (lessened ecological risk),10. possibility of preferential financing for pro-ecological investments (funds from EUand domestic institutions like the National or the Voivodeship Funds for EnvironmentalProtection and Water Management).The aforementioned actions may consist in: introduction of environmental managementsystems (ISO 14001, EMAS) or plainly initiation of cost-effective managementof energy and resources (in case of some micro- and small enterprises the cost ofdedicated systems’ implementations could be too high compared to the outcomes),recycling and resources’ re-use, waste segregation and utilisation, implementation ecocertificationsystem (typical for particular economy branch), using services from suppliersproviding certified products or services, introduction of eco-innovations. Someof these may result from environmental law (and the necessity to adapt the operation tovalid regulations) while others, voluntary ones, relate to CSR.Enterprises’ owners and managers should have at least elementary knowledge regardingthprinciples of the sustainable development, ecological aspects of economicactivity (and its impact) or pro-ecological solutions, also because one should pay attentionto the fact that implementation of such aspects into business practice affects costreduction and improves effectiveness.4. MethodIn order to identify contents concerning environmental aspects of economic activity,sustainable development and “greening” the economy, lectured at public universities inPoland, an analysis of study syllabuses at two fields, economics and management, wasprepared. The review was prepared for randomly selected universities and technicaluniversities. The relevant data were acquired from universities’ web pages. It must bementioned that not all universities published the descriptions of the syllabuses in Internet(some of them were available only in Intranet, for registered users). Such universitieswere disregarded. Results of the review are not fully comparable: some universitiespublished course for different years: predominantly for 2013/2014, but some for106
