There is an intense motion towards the ethics in business and business responsibility in the last decades of the 20th century. The impact of changes in the ethics is not the only reason for development of environmentally friendly business. High material and energy consumption has negative impact on costs and on competitiveness. There are good reasons for company to behave environmentally friendly but all depends on opinion of owners and managers. The empirical study is based on hypotheses which say that higher managerial concern on environment should lead to greater company effort on this field and that this concern corresponds to a positive expectation of company performance.
