The Subchapter provides the insight into main challenges that we are facing today, caused by the economic system which is not acting sustainable, and provides some possible solution for it. Among challenges are those con-nected to overexploitation of resources on one side and those connected to pollution on the other side of the linear production and consumption pro-cesses in the societies. However, for several decades the sustainable devel-opment is emerging as an alternative to those processes. It exposes the need to consider all three pillars equally, namely social, environmental and eco-nomic. The main challenge remains on how to change our behavior and start to act more sustainably oriented and consequently implement princi-ples of sustainable development globally. If we want to achieve it as a soci-ety, we have to implement those principles on micro level, starting with individuals and companies. Among companies, one of solutions is to im-plement principles of sustainable entrepreneurship which could help also to other stakeholders in society to act more sustainable.
