Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to evaluate the pro-ecological activities in the sector of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MMŚP) in the subregion of Słupsk based on own research. Implementing the concept of sustainable development in Poland leads to a more frequent engagement of the MMŚP sector in pro-ecological activities. Business entities more frequently look for environmentally-friendly solutions increasing their energy efficiency, as well as limiting their costs. This makes them more competitive and leads to a more sustainable development. Although the level of ecological awareness in enterprises is constantly increasing, there were still some barriers in implementing efficient pro-ecological solutions in many of the entities within the MMŚP sector, solutions which could result in limiting their negative influence on the environment.
