Abstract

A construction project shapes the natural environment of human beings throughout its life cycle. Therefore, problems related to the ecological quality of the applied solutions require special interest. A method of solving these problems can be directly related to stakeholders involved in the projects. The role of a construction company in the context of decision making problems, and in particular its ecological responsibility, has become one of the fundamental elements of the genesis of this research. Linking ecological maturity of the stakeholders participating in the implementation of construction projects, and taking into account the environment friendly approach, related to the scarce resource management and the possibility of reducing their environmental impact, became the main goal of the article. The detailed objectives of the conducted research can be connected with promoting eco-friendly strategies among construction companies and increasing the awareness of construction entrepreneurs about the current EU requirements regarding the environmental issues of business. There is also a need for building ecological maturity of construction companies. Research conducted among the management staff of construction companies allowed to specify some factors of the ecological maturity in construction enterprise (EMCE) and their priorities.
