“…The energy sector is transforming from traditional energy to new and renewable technologies. By defining the energy policy guidelines, the European Union adopted the following energy sector development goals for the period 2010-2020, following the principle of sustainable development: a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, a 20% increase in renewable energy, and a minimum 10% increase in the percentage of biofuels in the final energy consumption [3].…”

The economic downturn caused by the financial crisis of 2008–2009 and the intensifying global climate policy trends forced changes in the energy management of the European Union. The study examined how the most relevant energy economic variables affected the economic growth of the E.U. between 2010–2019. The study used the PSL-PM methodology to explore the relationship between G.D.P. (dependent variable) and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, the average energy price, and renewable energy use (independent variables). The main findings are: G.D.P. growth is negatively correlated with CO2 emissions, showing that the E.U. economy is still highly dependent on fossil fuels; the increase in the proportion of renewable energy consumption contributed to the growth of the E.U.’s G.D.P.; CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and the average energy price are more critical in E.U. member states with a lower G.D.P.; renewable energy use and energy balance are essential in countries where more emphasis is placed on replacing traditional energy sources and reducing energy dependence; there is a strong positive correlation between G.D.P. and renewable energy use, indicating that this type of energy use effectively supports E.U. economic growth. The results of the multicollinearity test show that there is also a strong linear dependence between the independent energy economic variables. One of the significances of the study is that the presented and analyzed variables and the relationships between them can contribute to optimizing the E.U.’s currently critical energy management and economic growth.

“…Scientific research informs the design and implementation of these initiatives, emphasizing the roles of consumer behavior, decisionmaking processes, and socio-economic factors in shaping energy consumption patterns. By promoting energy literacy and consumer empowerment, the EU aims to facilitate the adoption of energy-efficient behaviors and technologies in households, thereby driving the transition towards sustainable energy usage [98].…”

This manuscript explores the relationship between the economic awareness (as a part of energy awareness) of Polish households and their sustainable energy consumption practices. Sustainable consumption is measured by the frequency of behaviors such as turning off electrical devices when not in use, removing mobile device chargers from sockets, switching off lights when leaving a room, preferring showers over baths, using washing machines and dishwashers only when full, and purchasing energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs. Economic awareness is gauged through variables such as knowledge of electricity tariffs, understanding of electric bill components, awareness of electricity prices, exact knowledge of electricity expenses, electricity usage in kWh, knowledge of effective energy-saving methods, and familiarity with the energy efficiency classes of appliances and light bulbs. This study presents profiles of households with high and low economic awareness regarding their electricity expenditures and examines how these profiles differ in their sustainable energy consumption behaviors. This research is based on a survey of 1407 Polish households conducted online in 2023. Data collected from the survey were subjected to statistical analysis and are presented in tables and graphs. The findings are discussed in the context of the existing literature in the field, highlighting the implications of economic awareness on sustainable energy consumption practices. This research contributes to understanding how economic knowledge influences energy-saving behaviors among Polish households, providing insights for policymakers and energy conservation initiatives. One of the key findings of this paper is the significant association between economic awareness, energy-saving knowledge, and the adoption of sustainable energy consumption behaviors among Polish households. This study reveals that households with higher levels of economic awareness demonstrate a notably higher frequency of practices related to sustainable energy consumption compared to those with lower economic awareness. Similarly, households equipped with greater knowledge about energy-saving techniques exhibit a higher propensity to adopt energy-efficient behaviors. This underscores important roles of economic literacy and education in fostering behavioral changes towards more sustainable energy practices, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions and educational campaigns aimed at enhancing economic awareness and promoting energy-saving knowledge among consumers.

“…Sustainable development was defined for the first time in 1987 in the report entitled: "Our Common Future" (WCED, 1987). This definition draws attention to the way of meeting the current needs on which the fate of future generations depends as well as their ability to satisfy their own needs (Kowalik et al, 2018). Another understanding of sustainable development brings it down to a centralized goal of economic growth that is socially comprehensive and environmentally sustainable (Sachs et al, 2022).…”

Purpose: The goal of the article is to create a model whose management method will take intoaccount individual needs (client, entrepreneur), implementing the standards of global economicsustainability. The created model allows defining the Sustainable Development Goals in terms ofthe environmental dimension of the circular economy.Methodology/Approach: For article purpose, circular economy was used as a method improvingthe chances of achieving the goals of sustainable development. The statistical significance of thevariables were checked for obtain data. In addition, this process was supported by the Deming cyclein order to be able to respond to changes using the agility methodology.Findings: The results of the research allowed to identify the most important (SDGs), which, whencombined with the trends of the industry/sector, formed a balanced loop taking into account allparticipants and their needs.Implications/limitations: Managing a company according to global standards is a big challenge.The results of an analysis of own needs (an enterprise) should correlate with the needs of stakeholders in the supply chain and with the direction of development of the industry/sector in order to support the domestic economy and be competitive on global markets.Originality/value: Study explains undertaken activities for implementing process of correlation between entities which must take into account the good of the individual and, above all, of the general public.Keywords: sustainable development, agility, circular economy, organizational improvementPaper type: Research paper
