Abstract
Environmental indicators currently are considered to be very important in achieving environmental policy objectives. The aim of the paper is to present the most important information on environmental indicators in the European Union. The environmental taxes are measured using indicators, reports and sets of indicators. The evaluation is based on the methodology of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). The methodology for assessing indicators examines the causal link between the current state of environmental taxes and current environmental trends. The effective introduction of environmental taxes based on an environmental strategy can ultimately lead to many desirable effects in European Union countries. Achieving environmental excellence should be a priority objective for both countries and companies, as the development and successful implementation of policies and environmental strategies is a key element of companies around the world.

Summary
Today's society is characterized by an immediate benefit of business and does not reflect on the threat to the future with respect to the environment. Environmental taxes are key instruments for achieving sustainability in the economy by increasing the prices of environmentally harmful goods or the cost of production inputs Developed countries, such as the European Union, have been drawing attention to this area of the economy more and more recently. They can initiate the necessary changes in the economy, resource use, behavior and universal access to nature [2]. Energy is an integral part of our daily life in society in a market economy We need it for heating, cooling, lighting and movement; this is important for the functioning of our offices, workplaces and the whole economy [4]. This is one of the reasons why the Commission EU has proposed its Energy Union strategy
