Abstract
In the contemporary circumstances, one of the greatest challenges companies are facing is the identification of environmental costs, both due to the lack of a unique classification and accounting coverage and because they occur when taking or not taking measures related to and relevant to environmental protection. Neglecting the ecological aspect of business increases the risk of a discrepancy between the consumption of natural resources and their limited availability. In order to cope with the constantly growing competition in modern business conditions, companies need an adequate information base. This information base is provided by environmental management accounting. It is focused on the use and management of natural resources and environmental costs as well as identifying the responsibility of individuals and the entire company for activities that are carried out to improve the environment. The aim of the chapter is to point out the role and importance of environmental accounting and especially management accounting for sustainable business development.
