The consequences of implementing and upholding environmental protection standards have visible effects in many areas of the economy. However, they are most immediately pertinent to industry, which has the greatest opportunity to positively affect its surroundings. This work aims to identify factors which can bring about a significant improvement in environmental standards in organisations, to point out how producers can benefit from the newly introduced environmental regulations and finally to indicate the possible direction of the future development of the lumber industry taking into account current trends towards environmentally friendly production.
