“…Such an important role can be successfully proven for consumers who are pro-environmentally oriented and environmental protection is at their value-among the priorities. In terms of implementation of environmental policy in practice it is not a priority to persuade once convinced, but to provide an appropriate form of information (such as environmental labeling type I) to persuade undecided, respectively consumerist-oriented consumers to become proenvironmentally oriented driving force in the market [3], [4].…”

This paper describes the approaches development of organizations to environmental protection through several stages from complete passivity, over so-called the reactive approach to the proactive principles. The passive approach relies on the power of nature to dispose of waste by own assimilative capacity, the reactive approach is based on a strategy of control and management especially in relation to the legislative measures and the proactive principle, applied in developed countries since the nineties of the twentieth century is based on the fact of prevention of pollution occurrence being cheaper and more effective than to subsequently remove it, or bear the consequences. A proactive approach focuses on eliminating problems before they have a chance to appear and a reactive approach is based on responding to events after they have happened. The difference between these two approaches is the perspective each one provides in assessing influences and their impacts. The aim of environmentally oriented management based on the proactive principles is use the special management tools and methods application are the subject of this contribution.

Soil represents a decisive natural resource and economic and eco-social potential of the every country. Soil pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems. Contamination in the soil environment has a significant impact on the use of land resources and can cause high levels of exposure for people living near the site of contamination. Therefore, the risk elements soil pollution assessment is one of the most important resources for comprehensive evaluation of contaminated areas.The paper investigates the degree of heavy metal contamination of agricultural soil in selected Slovakian districts over a monitored period of time.
