The aim of the article is to present the effects of implementing eco-innovations in enterprises. Eco-innovation is a fairly modern concept and can be a method of solving emerging environmental problems as a consequence of economic growth. As with innovation, eco-innovation has several types and can therefore result in a new or significantly improved product (good or service), process, new marketing or organizational methods. Eco-innovation should be seen as an integral part of innovative activities in all sectors of the economy
