Summary:Environmental pollution is related to the growth of economic activity that negatively affects the environment. Environmental efficiency means the using of voluntary environmental tools to reduce negative environmental impacts. Reducing environmental pollution in businesses is focused on three strategies, which represent a reduction in raw material intensity, changes in the production of environmental products, environmental consumption and disposal of products after their lifetime. The aim of the Operational Program of Environment is to invest too in the water sector. In this contribution we deal with a mining company uses water resources for its mining activities. The economic impacts of the use of water resources in mining company are presented in the contribution through economic indicators - indexes and we follow the trend of fees for the use of water resources by the mining company. The level of fees has decreased over the period considered, which a positive trend is for the mining company. Decreasing of environmental costs creates area for investment in environment. We propose a form of streamlining the process of using water resources in view of optimizing of environmental costs and implementation of environmental management system in the mining company. The company obtains competitiveness advantages by optimizing of environmental costs.
