Current innovative industrial processes of companies are focused mainly on green investments and investment decisions of investors are made based on the need for environmental protection. This scientific thesis introduces the current system of protection of natural capital in Slovakia and at the same time it also clarifies the protection of natural interests in connection with the activities of foreign companies that carry out economic activity in Slovakia. The scientific study contributes to the clarification of the function of the state as the owner of the natural capital.
