Purpose: The purpose of the study was to analyze the importance of the issue and the level of sustainable development in the context of the functioning of Poland and Slovakia against the background of the European Union, based on a system of indicators, and to analyze the level of implementation of selected sustainable development goals by these countries. Design/methodology/approach: The research process was based on the diagnostic survey method. The techniques used for data collection were content analysis and desk research. The study covered the years 2000-2021. Findings: Both in theory and in practice, a problem has been recognized, namely that the surveillance methods developed are fraught with various disadvantages (e.g., standardization or uniformity of data for all EU countries). Within the framework of each of the examined indicators (from the area of SDG7, SDG8, SDG9), Poland showed a rise in the ranking of EU member states between 2000 and 2021. Slovakia, on the other hand, only in relation to the indicator of ross domestic expenditure on R&D by sector (SDG9) showed a decline in placement. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the study's implementation is the potential constraints on the availability of the data needed to calculate indicators to monitor the degree to which the Sustainable Development Goals are being met. Practical implications: The results of the research will positively influence the planning of further activities by both the analyzed countries, Poland and Slovakia. The results of the research provide constructive information that may prove useful for the development of future strategic plans related to the implementation of the goals of the concept of sustainable development. Originality/value: The study fills a research gap in the field of comparative analysis of selected spectra of Poland and Slovakia against the background of the European Union in the context of the implementation of sustainable development goals (Development Agenda 2030).

Countless people and organisations have been wrestling with the practical application of sustainability and sustainable development. Yet there is no rigorous and unequivocal template that can be followed for management because the meaning of the key concepts of sustainability and development in particular haven’t been properly identified. Although the fundamental meaning of the word sustainability is continuance, the concept has its controversies especially when it drifts into the ‘abstract’ and even becomes confused with sustainable development. For our purposes it is the ability of development and of its associated processing activities to continue that is being managed. For management effectiveness, a system framework is necessary but more importantly what goes into that system has to be rigorously and unambiguously defined. In our case, the mechanisms describing the practicalities that govern the sustainability of development have been clearly identified in this paper and called by name. The concept of development needs clarification, while the accepted popular ‘three pillar’ depiction of sustainable development is also fundamentally flawed when compared with the form of words of the ’Brundtland‘ definition. This well-known ‘Venn representation’ implies a type of ‘balance’ or ‘synergy’ at the heart of sustainability management. In fact, because of the fundamentally unsustainable nature of current development processes, the ‘balance’ turns into a trade-off amongst the three sustainability players. For real sustainable development there can be no such trade-off. Once the misunderstandings are clarified the true basics of sustainability and sustainable development are fed into a standard ISO14001 iteration loop for management to commence.
