The next part of the paper describes the attitude of the Czech companies to the environmental reporting, factors that influence this attitude, progress and trends in this area. Barriers to the adoption of environmental reporting principles in the Czech Republic are also identified. Furthermore, the developed web information system Central Data Model is discussed.
