Recognising that implementing an agricultural enterprise impacts the state of the environment, its ecological stability, and the self- regulatory capabilities of ecosystems, the aim of this paper is to acquaint the professional and lay public about the attitudes of Slovakian agricultural enterprises towards environmental protection and sustainable development. The paper draws attention to present methods, techniques, and tools that enterprise management are applying for the purpose of meeting and overcoming environmental challenges. The data for this research were obtained from controlled interviews and a questionnaire survey conducted across more than 90 agricultural enterprises. Based on the data outcomes, research premises and formulated research hypotheses put forward are verified by using Friedman, Wilcoxon, Kruskal–Wallis, and Pearson chi-square tests. Discussion of the findings points out that although Slovakia is not yet one of the most polluting countries, promoting the application of environmental protection approaches for sustainable development is of the essence. The most important agriculturally related step, mitigating environmental degradation, is to promote changes in the moral values of agricultural enterprises and the society through enhanced environmental awareness and application practices.

The digital environment has become an essential part of everyday life, work, and education. Digital skills are crucial for personal and professional success in today’s technological age. OECD and EU statistics indicate that approximately 90% of job positions require digital skills at various levels. The more skilled and adept employees are in businesses, the more the company progresses, which subsequently influences the country’s economic growth and development. Different indices have been created to compare the digital performance of countries. One of the most used is The Networked Readiness Index (NRI) and The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI). The aim of the article is to describe the levels of digital skills of citizens and compare the level of digital skills in Slovakia and EU countries in the year 2022. The data will be obtained from the databases of the mentioned NRI and DESI indices.
