Sustainable development is a multidimensional term becoming increasingly important in modern business conditions and one of the primary issues of scholarly debate. Sustainable development is built on three interwoven pillars: economic, social, and ecological. The economic pillar relates to the decrease of the negative consequences of economies of scale, as well as its reduced environmental imprint. The social dimension of sustainability is based on social justice and the quality of human life. The ecological dimension, which is the most significant, refers to the maximum protection of the natural environment to reduce climate change and maintain the planet. There are several actors on the scene of sustainable development, which are organizations that try to promote sustainability and set goals for the global well-being of human civilization. The study focuses on the presentation of organizations and institutions that play a part in developing environmental protection policies, given that the primary goal of the concept of sustainability is to conserve natural resources. The article will demonstrate the operation of the European Parliament, one of the EU’s most important institutions, through a comparative examination. Furthermore, the role of specific institutions that implement environmental protection regulations will be underlined.
