Summary: | Sustainable development is one of the key challenges of the modern world. Concerning enterprises, it means undertaking economic, social, and environmental development activities. The sustainable development of enterprises depends on several endogenous and exogenous factors. The task of energy economy instruments is to support the energy transformation of economies and enterprises. The article's main goal is to assess the impact of selected energy economy instruments on the sustainable development of energy companies in Poland in 2008-2020. Energy economy instruments include financial outlays on environmental protection (F), environmental taxes (Pśr), outlays on renewable energy sources (Oz), prices of futures contracts for CO2 emissions (CO2), outlays on R&D (BR) and the EU System Trade-in Emissions (UEH).). I created to assess the sustainable development of energy enterprises (Zr) and their three pillars: economic (E), social (S) and environmental (Śr). I used the Classical Least Squares (KMNK) method and the Seemingly Unrelated Regression: SUR method to assess the relationships between the variables. The study consists of an introduction, a review of the literature on the subject, a discussion of the research method, research results and conclusions.
