Abstract: This research examines the integration of eco-economics principles into environmental policy management, with a focus on resource limitations and pollution resulting from economic activities. This study aims to identify rational behaviors in energy sector companies that promote sustainable production and consumption practices. A survey of 232 respondents, all employees from companies within the energy sector, was conducted to examine the inclination towards eco-efficient economic behavior and the impact of environmental policies on production processes. The research methodology combines quantitative and qualitative approaches, using econometric models and statistical analysis to interpret responses to a structured questionnaire. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how companies can align their production methods with sustainable growth policies, mainly through creative and non-polluting technologies. This research highlights the importance of integrating environmental policy into business strategies to promote long-term sustainability and green economic practices.
