Abstract:

The main purpose of this paper is to identify the competences required for environmentally responsible managers in sustainable supply chain management. The proposed paper will analyze skills needed for green management. Along with theoretical study it will present the research results of the international TrainERGY project (http://www.trainergy-project.eu/) aimed at promoting green thinking among enterprises and academics across four European countries: Poland, United Kingdom, Italy and Greece. The findings of the research cover the differences between countries in terms of managers’ environmental skills presence index which is a measure representing presence of particular skills in the surveyed companies. It also highlights the essential directions of a design and a content of the current and future environmental education and practice.
