The strategic business of industrial companies, observed on a global level, conceives of insufficient commitment of management to the environmental situation, which is influenced by an increasing number of harmful factors in the environment. Bearing in mind that the world's population is growing faster, according to the data, it is estimated that by 2050, that number will exceed the figure of more than 9 billion. This means that with the increase of the population, the consumption of a large amount of natural resources also increases. Surveys of statistical data in the field of environmental protection in the world show that if the world's natural resources are evenly distributed, in 2050, people will have at their disposal about 25% of resources per capita. Accordingly, it is important in the industrial environment to include experts from various fields: biologists, medical workers, ecologists and experts who can purposefully, based on their profession, contribute to the preservation of the planet, clean water and air. From the strategic aspect, in companies, this is solved within the framework of faster development of management awareness, which should be focused on understanding and greater understanding of the concept of "environmental protection". This means preserving an important industrial and living system, which should contain a set of measures that will protect the entire business space, the human environment as well as the entire biosphere from harmful influences. The importance and obligation of the management is, accordingly, to be ready at any time to eliminate or reduce the harmful changes that have occurred to the healthy environment, which have occurred as a result of the operation of their industrial plant. The paper presents strategic approaches to research of important performances of the development of the situation with the resulting environmental problems as a consequence of industrial production in the environment.
