Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to provide some empirical evidence regarding the relationship between environmental leadership and pollution abatement costs within different types of organizations. We provide a short literature review on environmental leadership approaches, as well as on the main types of pollution abatement costs, including the connection between these two concepts. Afterwards, we made some assumptions regarding the relationship between the environmental leadership and the evolution of each type of pollution abatement cost and we provide some empirical evidence in order to validate them, by using specific examples from Romanian companies.
