The selected results of a research project under the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic Analysis and Design of Environmental Data Models and External Czech Environmental Information System Interfaces Compatible with the EU are presented. The next part of the paper describes the attitude of the Czech companies to the environmental reporting, factors that influence this attitude, progress and trends in this area. Barriers to the adoption of environmental reporting principles in the Czech Republic are also identified. Furthermore, the developed web information system Central Data Model is discussed.
