Summary/Abstract: Environment, environmental protection and sustainability policies play a key role in social development and in the economic competitiveness of industrialized countries. The increase in environmental awareness also causes the ecological reorientation of companies. The purpose of this work is to explore the internal multidimensional factors determining the pro-environmental orientation of companies using the factor analysis for this purpose. The study was conducted on a random sample consisting of 300 small and medium-sized enterprises in the Lubuskie Voivodeship. On the basis of the used factor analysis, it was agreed that further analysis should use the first two factors that explain a total of 70.45% of the variance of all variables.
