Popularity of the system approach to solving environmental problems at the level of an enterprise is manifesting itself in growing interest in the implementation of modem environmental management systems (EMSs) in accordance with the requirements of PN-EN ISO 14001 standard. The enterprises which as the first were awarded the certificate of compliance with the requirements of the aforementioned standard have already had their systems re-certified or are preparing for it. The fact that environmental management systems have been functioning in Polish enterprises for several years now allows for assessment of the effects generated by said systems. Knowledge of the methodology and criteria of assessment of effectiveness of the functioning of environmental management systems as well as the ability to carry out such assessment will facilitate the popularisation of the environmental management systems, in particular in small and mediumsized enterprises. The method of integrated assessment of effectiveness of the environmental management system was developed by the author hereof as a self- assessment technique from the point of view of carrying out partial assessments, on the one hand, and as auxiliary instrument for external institutions (certifying units), on the other hand. It is a universal instrument based on the so-called backcasting approach where the subject of assessment are the results generated by the environmental management system. The analysis of the results is the starting point for the study of factors determining such effectiveness. (fragment of text)
