Environmental indicators

Abstract

Environmental indicators currently are considered to be very important in achieving environmental policy objectives. The aim of the paper is to present the most important information on environmental indicators in the European Union. The environmental taxes are measured using indicators, reports and sets of indicators. The evaluation is based on the methodology of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). The methodology for assessing indicators examines the causal link between the current state of environmental taxes and current environmental trends. The effective introduction of environmental taxes based on an environmental strategy can ultimately lead to many desirable effects in European Union countries. Achieving environmental excellence should be a priority objective for both countries and companies, as the development and successful implementation of policies and environmental strategies is a key element of companies around the world.
