The authors have investigated the EPI index while our research covered the period 2010-2018. The findings reveal that environmental policy directly and positively influences economic performance through the improvement of environmental conditions. However, many analysts fear that the demands of the green economy already create high costs, and that its benefits will be materialized in the long term. Finally, sustainable business operations - the green economy requires timely harmonization, in order to fulfill the goals of environmental protection. Rezime: Predmet ovog rada je analiza odnosa između ekonomskog rasta i stanja životne sredine. Autori su istraživali indeks EPI dok je istraživanjem je obuhvaćen period od 2010-2018. godine. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da politika zaštite životne sredine direktno utiče na povećanje ekonomskog učinaka kroz poboljšanje uslova životne sredine. Ipak, mnogi analitičari strahuju da zahtevi zelene ekonomije stvaraju velike troškove već sada, a da će korist biti materijalizovana u dugom roku. Konačno, održivo ekonomsko poslovanje – zelena ekonomija zahteva blagovremeno usklađivanje, kako bi se koristi osetile u kratkom i srednjem roku.
