Abstract
Environmental management has become an important business topic throughout the last decade. Road transport is, in this respect, still regarded to be one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emission. In this paper we discuss the implementation of environmental management based on a survey of Austrian transport for hire or reward companies or businesses in other fields regularly performing own account transport and investigate the importance of managers´ attitudes.
