Abstract: Abstract The criterion of favorableness and sustainability necessitates a theoretical understanding of the environmental management smart regulation means. As part of the conducted research, such categories and correlations as environmental management, smart regulation, automation, informatization, digitalization, and digital transformation were introduced into scientific circulation in the context of environmental management; the features of the environmental management legal regulation were analyzed, and the problematics multidimensionality and interdisciplinarity of the use of natural resources were substantiated. It was revealed that smart regulation in the SMART value in environmental issues is ensured by creating and implementing a digital transformation chain. The analysis of the smart regulation concept allowed identifying tools for improving the quality of implementation of regulatory prescriptions, requirements of management, and supervisory authorities in the field of environmental management. The authors have proven that digital transformation is a means of smart regulation that improves the quality of legal influence in the context of the discourse of society, humans, and nature. According to the research results, the types of environmental management are revealed, and the most effective trends of environmental management digitalization are represented. It is highlighted that digitalization conditionally unifies environmental management, bringing this process to uniform standards for sustainable development; concurrently, environmental management digitalization is substantively specificated in relation to the types of environmental management. The authors are convinced that in order to improve the environmental management digitalization, an appropriate strategy should be adopted, in which successful methods of smart regulation of the use of natural resources should be consolidated and developed, which has practical and methodological significance and can be considered when reforming the applicable environmental legislation. The undertaken research has made it possible to integrate the innovative experience of introducing digital transformation as a means of smart regulation into the environmental management plane, which represents the achievement of the research objective – to identify the value and features of digital transformation as a means of smart regulation of environmental management and formulate the value of digital transformation of environmental management.
