Summary/Abstract: Ecological competences, similarly to ecological products, technologies and innovations have played an increasingly important role in the development of the company, determining both the increase in company’s value and its market success for a longer period of time. Ecological knowledge and competences possessed by companies may effectively prevent the occurrence of environmental issues and properly shape environmental security, which is associated with the elimination of ecological threats not only for individual companies, but also for the entire global economy. Ecological competences, which are created as a combination of mutually complementary and strengthening skills and environmental knowledge possessed by both managers and employees, allow the company to realise its production process without threat to environment and to create products of high ecological standards. As a consequence, these competences become a key element of the company’s success, which is crucial for gaining a competitive advantage, so it is worth looking into this issue.
