ABSTRACT
This chapter provides key information on the national context, priority issues, trends, government policies, and case studies of sustainable enterprise in Croatia. Croatia is situated at the south-eastern part of Europe, where the Mediterranean, central Europe and south-eastern Europe meet. The importance of the geographical position is emphasized by the Adriatic Sea, as a part of the Mediterranean Sea, which penetrates the European continent towards the north. In terms of its history and culture, Croatia is one of the older European countries, with a tumultuous and heterogeneous history. The country has produced several renowned personalities, including three Nobel Prize-winners and the world famous scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla. Despite a declared intention by the Ministry of Economy to create a Sustainability Strategy, there are no explicit policies aimed at encouraging the sustainability, nor specific sustainability requirements for state-owned companies, with the exception of the Anti-corruption Policy.
