Business-driven pro-environmental measures were the inspiration behind col-lating practical examples from both within and outside the EU into one book. Another impulse to conduct a case-study type analysis was research carried out within the 7th Framework Program of the EU on “Proecological restructur-ing for jobs”. Three countries participated in the research: Poland as the leader, Lithuania and Ukraine. It consisted of surveying the research target group – i.e. large companies that either already restructured themselves or were planning to do so. In the book, readers will find a three-way approach to restructur-ing processes. In the first part, the cases look at how political and legal factors are embedded in a company’s strategy and how they influence the company’s behaviour. The next part analyses direct companies’ activities on matching restructuring with ecology. The final part gives the approach to ecoinnovations in the companies.The main objective of this book is to present a practical approach to pro-environmental challenges faced by companies in the process of restructuring. To meet this aim, the basic research method used was a qualitative one in the form of case studies with interviews with business owners. Moreover, for the case studies the following research methods were used: literature review and mass media reviews, in-depth interviews with company staff or experts, direct observations and face-to-face discussion, analyses of source documents from companies, state administration or statistical offices, and finally, surveys or questionnaires.This book incorporates material and experience from Ukraine, Romania, Germany and Poland. Yet another positive feature is that the authors are from an interdisciplinary scientific milieu, related to both engineering and the economy. This allowed us to collate a set of case studies from different coun-tries, different economic sectors, and large and small businesses, with diverse approaches to research. Through this, three main areas have been defined in which individual cases, characteristic of those areas, were presented.The first chapter, relating to a turbulent environment, puts special empha-sis on aspects of politics and law, the international market, technology and environmentalism. Interviews and direct observation material allowed the authors to present both positive and negative experiences of companies in the process of restructuring with a focus on pro-environmental measures taken. Here, readers will find good practices developed to solve problems readers may frequently encounter in turbulent environments. An exceptional follow-upof the first chapter is the subject of subsequent case studies from the second chapter, referring to pro-environmental activities recognized as a determi-nant of effective restructuring of an enterprise. Here, both practitioners and academics can find topics related to reduction of the ecologically harmful activity of a company in Ukraine. The next topic is related to environmental management and its functioning both in Poland and Ukraine. Special attention is drawn to the presentation of the achievements of Polish enterprises in the scope of environmental investments in new technologies. The book is enriched here with a practical example of investing in renewable energy in Germany.
