Purpose: The paper presents a possiblity using indicators of technological processes estimation which make possible decrease negative environmental influence these processes on the environment. Design/methodology/approach: The article shows the direction of enterprises efficiency estimation in favour of environment. It also presents the necessity of production with responsibility of environment. It requires formulating definite aims and justification of workers to integration of the environment protection. Findings: The environmental indicators should have more and more meaning in the enterprises development. Complying to suitable principles makes possible technological processes realization and products producing which do not negative influence on the environment. They save energy and getting out natural resources and assure the safer work conditions. Research limitations/implications: Using environmental indicators is connected with many advantages for enterprises, for example: control by given indicator of characterized areas, help in decision making in the range of environment protection, enlarging efficiency and effectiveness of companies. Practical implications: Knowledge of environmental indicators (develop by ISO, GRI, CWRT, etc.) makes possible conducting of ecological activity effects estimation of every organization. Originality/value: In this article the main indicators of technological processes ecological estimation were reviewed. It identifies major functions of indicators and proceeds to presenting the role of indicators in achievement of sustainable production.
