Environmentally friendly entrepreneurship (further ‐ EFE) is one of the tools for improvement environmental quality. There might be made theoretical approaches, how quantitatively large is the impact of the EFE in changes of the quality of environment. In this field theoretical suggestion is prior to practice, because in the most of countries there is domination of several cases, but it could not be used as overall tendency [8; 10]. Opposite impact to quality of environment might be created by driving forces (driving forces are economical indicators, which stimulate changes in quality of environment) [1] like overcon‐sumption, growth of gross domestic product (further ‐ GDP) etc. The article will highlight three possible approaches: 1) the assessment of EFE and driving forces to environmental quality; 2) quantitative analysis of interaction between environmental pressure (pressure indicators characterized impact of enterprises made to environment) indicators and driving forces indicators. In the second part there will be compared four countries: Baltic states and Sweden and 3) descriptive analysis of interaction between enterprise size and positive arrangements according environmental protection in Latvia in 1999 and 2001. Mainly there will be used the method of mathematical modelling [6] - descriptive, regression and power models and their attributes.
