Summary/Abstract: An integral element of any environmental management system should be effective communication of the organization with interested parties regarding environmental values and environmental performance of the organization. One of the interested parties, with whom the organization should maintain effective communication, are suppliers. The quality of cooperation with suppliers is a factor determining the effectiveness of the environmental management system. The objective of the paper is to discuss the requirements of the ISO 14001:2015 standard regarding the communication of organizations with interested parties, as well as to present the role of communication with suppliers in improving the effectiveness of the environmental management system. The paper also presents the possibilities of using the ISO 14063:2009 standard guidelines to build an effective environmental communication process with suppliers as a tool for shaping relations with suppliers within the environmental management system.
