Environmentally responsible behavior of modern companies allows them to reduce the negative impact on the environment, as well as contributes to its competitiveness, sustainable development, formation of internal and external positive image. In this paper, we looked into the key concepts of environmental management of personnel, in particular, environmental thinking, environmental behavior, environmental culture, and reflected on interconnection of these concepts. We have offered tools for developing an environmental culture among the staff of a Russian company, which will enable them to achieve their environmental goals, as well as to use economic thinking and behavior in the daily life of their employees. The environmental culture allows people to form a respectful attitude to-wards nature as a prerequisite for their survival, awareness of the priority of global environmental interests and, at the same time, personal responsibility of each individual.
