Purpose: One of the most important challenges of civilization in the contemporary world is obtaining the goals of sustainable development. This challenge is addressed to present and future generations who have to possess or acquire various sustainable development competencies. Shaping them is particularly essential in the case of generation Z, thus it should take place both in the process of academic education, as well as in cooperation with university stakeholders. The aim of the paper is to answer the question of whether the implementation of students’ internships enables shaping sustainable development competencies. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted in Poland in 2022 among 367 full-time students in the management field of study. The CAWI method was used. The paper presents a quantitative analysis of the obtained data. In the theoretical part of the article, the author explained the essence and goals of sustainable development, described sustainable development competencies, and the role of higher education and stakeholders in shaping the SD competencies of Generation Z. Findings: Generation Z has a positive attitude towards the implementation of the concept of sustainable development and almost all of the studied sustainable development goals are of great importance to the respondents. The obtained results confirmed that the implementation of internships in a real work environment affects the shape of many SD competencies of students. The greatest opportunities for the development of SD competencies were provided to interns by business organisations and administration, while less importance was assigned to such stakeholders as NGOs. Students expect the cooperation of the university and its stakeholders in shaping their SD competencies. Research limitations/implications: The size of the surveyed group does not allow for the formulation of general conclusions. However, the obtained results may be the basis for further in-depth studies on the problem. Similar research could be conducted to establish the opinion of employers and university representatives with a broader consideration of other variables. Practical implications: The conclusions of the study will provide universities and various stakeholders with valuable information on the possibility of using student internships to develop SD competencies of representatives of Generation Z. Originality/value: The obtained results allow one to fill the research gap concerning the assessment of whether the realization of student internships in a real work environment enables shaping students' competencies in the field of sustainable development.

Purpose: The EU’s guidelines exert an important influence on companies aiming to accelerate the implementation of green measures and minimise their negative environmental impacts. The objective of this paper is to define the key categories of green organisations and green competences whose development can accelerate the implementation of green processes in companies. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the literature review, a semi-structured qualitative research questionnaire was developed and a pilot study was conducted on four large manufacturing companies. Findings: A list of categories of activities linked to green organisations was developed and key components of green competences were defined. It was shown that performance-related managerial competences are the most important components of green competences for the companies. It was also pointed out that the categories that are the components of green 19 organisations are important and that the degree to which they are met has been increasing over time in recent years. Research limitations/implications: The pilot study was conducted with middle and senior 22 level representatives of four manufacturing companies. Its conclusions will be used to continue the research with a larger sample. Practical implications: The results of the study will allow companies to better adapt to the challenges of sustainability and green organisations. Key green competences and an emphasis on their development in the companies will allow more green organisation areas to be achieved more quickly. Social implications: The development of green organisations has a direct influence on minimising the negative environmental impacts and thereby improving the quality of life for everyone in society. Originality/value: Based on the analysis of the literature, it can be stated that there is no clear definition of green organisations while the variety of measures and their nomenclature in the area of sustainability is extensive. Research in that area contributes to the development of the science of management and quality and represents an important new field of research. This paper is meant for researchers and practitioners as well as HR representatives who work with the issue of green competences and green organisations.

Green human resource management means taking action and shaping and promoting pro-ecological attitudes in the working environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of green Human Resource Management (HRM) and green corporate policies in environmental sustainability. Research in this area was carried out among 346 employees employed in enterprises from various industries in Poland in 2021. An online questionnaire was used in the study. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis; a logistic regression model was applied using the Statistica computer package. The conducted research showed that the employees' awareness of green competencies and the employer's activities in environmental training and education are statistically significant. Still, employers should emphasise the environmental education of employed staff in conjunction with their job posi-tion.

Zielone zarządzanie zasobami ludzkimi to podejmowanie działań oraz kształtowanie i promowanie postaw proekologicznych w środowisku pracowniczym. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest zbadanie roli zielonego Human Resource Management (HRM) oraz ekologicznych polityk firm w zakresie zrównoważonego rozwoju środowiska. Badania w tym zakresie przeprowadzono wśród 346 pracowników zatrudnionych w przedsiębiorstwach z różnych branż zlokalizowanych na terenie Polski w 2021 roku. W badaniu wykorzystano internetowy kwestionariusz ankiety. Uzyskane wyniki poddano analizie statystycznej, zastosowano model regresji logistycznej z wykorzystaniem m.in. pakietu komputerowego Statistica. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że świadomość pracowników w zakresie zielonych kompetencji, jaki i działania pracodawcy w zakresie szkoleń i edukacji ekologicznej są statystycznie istotne, ale pracodawcy większy nacisk powinni kłaść na edukację ekologiczną zatrudnionego personelu w powiązaniu z zajmowanym przez nich stanowiskiem pracy.

W artykule dokonano analizy literatury pod kątem próby zdefiniowania pojęcia zielonych kompetencji oraz wyspecyfikowania ich rodzajów. Wskazano również główne cele w obszarze ochrony środowiska w zakresie przemysłu cementowego, które wynikają z Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu i opisane zostały przez Europejskie Stowarzyszenie Cementu - CEMBUREAU. Realizacja założonych celów środowiskowych będzie wymagała dużych inwestycji budżetowych, a także wsparcia kadr posiadających zielone kompetencje. Wskazane w artykule rodzaje zielonych kompetencji są na tyle uniwersalne, iż znajdą zastosowanie nie tylko w przemyśle cementowym ale również w ramach innych gałęzi gospodarki.

The article analyses the literature in terms of an attempt to define the concept of green competences and to specify their types. The main objectives in the field of environmental protection in the cement industry, resulting from the European Green Deal, and described by the European Cement Association - CEMBUREAU were also indicated. The implementation of the assumed environmental goals will require high-budget investments, as well as the support of staff with green competences. The types of green competences indicated in the article are universal enough to be used not only in the cement industry, but also in other branches of the economy.
