Cleaner Production is a kind of environmentally friendly enterprise management strategy. It is addressed not only to entrepreneurs but also to local government units. Its application facilitates the management of an organization focusedon sustainable development. Organizations that decide to voluntarily implement the CP strategy constantly strive to reduce pollution, energy consumption and costs related to environmental fees, through the development and implementation of so-called Cleaner Production Projects. One of the main aspects of “Cleaner Production” is the reduction of the environmental burden and the so-called “additional economic effect”. This means that projects related to the CP concept benefit both the environment and the organization. The Cleaner Production strategy, which has become the basis of the environmental management system, allows organizational units of various organizations to make voluntary environmental commitments focused on the good of the environment. An important feature of the Cleaner Production Environmental Management System is the use of existing databases of environmental impacts and legally required releases to the environment. This makes it much easier for each organization to make voluntary decisions about implementing such a system. The aim of this work was to show what the Cleaner Production strategy consists in and its role in pursuing the idea of sustainable development, on the example of a manufacturing company. Benefits resulting from the strategy in the form of a measurable economic effect, reduced consumption of electricity, heat and water are obvious. In addition, there was a decrease in pollution through the emission of gases, dust and waste products.
