Climate change and the deteriorating state of the environment pose a serious threat to the European Union and the entire world. The Green Deal for Europe sets a potential goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. This agreement aims to promote a green economy, create sustainable industry and transport, and reduce pollution. The main intention is to turn climate and environmental challenges into opportunities and ensure that the transition is fair and inclusive. The European Commission supports EU Member States in designing and implementing reforms that support the ecological transformation and contribute to achieving the objectives of the Green Deal for Europe. The Commission also assists in designing the necessary procedures in central and local administrations and creates the coordination structures necessary for the implementation of environmental policies. The aim of this article was to propose possible strategies to use and support the competitiveness of companies in the Czech Republic in meeting the goals of the European Union. In order to increase competitiveness, it focuses on strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises, reducing sector market barriers, facilitating foreign investment and trade, supporting research and innovation, better managing public-private partnerships and optimizing state-owned enterprises. With this contribution, the authors are trying to contribute to the achievement of the goals of the European Union and at the same time support the competitiveness of companies in the Czech Republic.

Legislative changes within the circular economy package, initiated by the European Union and in the process of incorporation into the legislation of the Czech Republic, lead to a ban on landfill after 2024. More precisely, these changes lead to a significant reduction of landfill, with tons of landfilled waste. The aim of the changes is to reduce the land filling of municipal waste to a maximum of 10% in 2035, to prohibit landfilling of recoverable waste (mixed municipal waste) and to increase the recycling of municipal waste to a level of min. 65% in 2035.The municipalities must respond to these changes in such a way that the costs of processing waste from public sources are not passed on or by increasing the legal fees of citizens for the processing of municipal waste. The project is unique with its technology and principle of waste sorting in the Czech Republic. The uniqueness of the project is also defined on the condition that this project, which is captured in the contribution, is purely a project of municipalities, ie cities, municipalities, unions,and companies owned by the municipality. During the project work, there was an interaction between leading experts in this field within Europe. Examples include construction and related project management of sorting lines in Spain, Norway,and Poland. These countries are among the leading project management experts in the field of sorting lines processing mixed municipal waste and other types of waste (bulk, plastic, foil, etc.). This paper deals with the basic project management of the construction of a modern municipal waste sorting facility. The result of the paper is a description of individual project activities during project implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The strategic management of the mining companies involved in the extraction and processing of energy raw materials still lacked a strategic tool to help determine the patterns of extraction of energy resources in the development of the external environment or external conditions. In this article, the authors sought to find a possible econometric model of black coal. Research is based on data available from the macroeconomics and mining of the selected mineral, which are analyzed using the multidimensional regression analysis developed by the RKWard software. The resulting econometric model includes research into the determination of dependencies between black coal mining and external conditions that are thought to be macroeconomic aggregates. This research is described in the article "Managerial View of the Dependence of Selected Materials on External Conditions". The correct determination of the econometric model of mining volume appears to be an interesting competitive advantage. The results of the extraction of hard coal, selected repaired minerals, led to further research, e.g. in econometric modeling and prediction of extraction of raw materials, which the authors are still concerned with.

After 1989, when significant economic and social changes took place in the Czech Republic, the mining of most minerals was gradually reduced by 30-40%. The development of the external environment, especially the external conditions directly/indirectly.-positively/negatively affects mining of mineral resources. In the presented article, we examine the dependence between exploitation of black coal and external conditions in terms of management. Selected macroeconomic indicators (not only in the Czech Republic but also in Germany) and industry indicators describing external conditions were chosen. This investigation of this issue was based on available empirical data, including mining and macroeconomic sector. Dependence was determined by multidimensional regression analysis. The processing engine for multidimensional regression analysis was the RKWard software. The results of the exploitation of black coal, as the examined mineral, lead to further research, e.g., in the field of econometric modeling and prediction of the raw materials' extraction, which the authors continue to address.

Industry in Moravian-Silesian Region is the basis for employment of the population of this region. Mining activity, which has a long-standing history in the region is going through restructuralization and the gradual attenuation in recent years. Mining industry in the Moravian-Silesian region leads to the progressive termination of mining, and therefore the authors respond to these new realities. This paper evaluates the socioeconomic impact on employees and possible solutions in the mining sector in the context of the decline of mining. Employees who work in the mining environment in coal mining companies or in the supply service are closely profiled in terms of the labor market, and therefore even subsequent measures after finishing the exploitation will be specific.

Evolution of main macroeconomic characteristics indicates the strength and condition of economies worldwide. According to these characteristics budgets are being compiled, success of governments is being measured, large enterprises are being oriented etc. Energy raw materials harvested in the Czech Republic are currently under a large environmental and political pressure. The aim of this article is to evaluate dependency of selected energy raw materials harvested in the Czech Republic on selected external conditions in neighbouring countries, which are not only the basic macroeconomic indicators such as gross domestic product, unemployment rate and industrial production index, which is not included in the basic macro data, but records condition of industry as a whole. The results of the present article should be the basis for medium- and longterm management decisions in strategic planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The general feature of development after year 1989 in the Czech Republic is a gradual decrease in mining by 30-40% for most raw materials. The period of mining in years 1990 - 1994 is interesting because decrease in mining was only a consequence of changes in socio-economic conditions in the Czech Republic. Further fluctuations in mining after 1994 until today, when data for mining of studied raw materials are available, ie. year 2014 are mainly the result of market forces on the national and world market. This article responds to this phenomenon, and aims to determine the dependency of construction mineral resources on external conditions, which are selected basic macroeconomic indicators (gross domestic product and inflation rate), but also indicators that do not belong among classical macroeconomic variables (foreign trade and others).

In current turbulent environments, it is of vital importance that both commercial and production organisations maintain their high entrepreneurial potential and seek for new market opportunities. This concerns all national economy industries inclusive engineering. In the Czech Republic, the abrasive silicon carbide is often used in engineering to grind, burnish, and lap various materials. Decisions about which country might become a purchaser of silicon carbide, or identifying a market gap depend among others on the evolution of the specific country macroeconomic indicators, like gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, and industrial production index (IPI). The assessment of some macroeconomic indicators provided for meeting this paper's objective, namely identification of the German marketplace potential for increasing sales of silicon carbide.

In the last few years, there has been intensive discussion in the public (both professional and non-professional) on the intensity and the need for mining and quarrying. However, the vast majority of European countries had to resort to a substantial reduction in the mining sector, due to pressure from environmental organizations. This obviously also concerns the treatment of extracted minerals. At present, the most frequently discussed commodities include gold. Among other things, it is also due to the fact that in the Czech Republic, the majority of registered deposits are located in protected areas. Another problem may also be cyanide leaching, which has been the most frequently used method for obtaining gold concentrate for many years. In the contribution, we try to find suitable alternatives for obtaining high quality, full-fledged gold concentrates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
