The article presents the results of a study examining the attitudes and perceptions of logistics sector employees towards the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. The main objective was to identify the level of knowledge, trust, and readiness to adapt AI technologies within the logistics environment, as well as to determine the factors supporting their acceptance. The study was conducted using the CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) method, which enabled the collection of opinions from employees representing various professional groups within the logistics sector. The study focused on the emotional and social dimensions of technological transformation, analysing employees’ expectations regarding organizational support and the development of digital competences. The findings reveal predominantly positive, yet cautious, attitudes towards AI, emphasizing the importance of practical training, transparent communication, and employee participation in the implementation process. The results provide a basis for formulating recommendations for logistics companies, highlighting the need to combine technological investment with human capital development and to foster an organizational culture grounded in trust and collaboration.

An essential element of the transformation toward the circular economy concept is the management of packaging waste, in which consumers – through their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors – significantly influence the effectiveness of implementing circular solutions such as separate collection, deposit systems, and recycling. This paper presents the results of research on consumers' knowledge and behaviours regarding the management of packaging waste within the framework of the circular economy concept. The analysis, conducted on a representative sample of Polish adults (N = 1000), reveals insufficient ecological competencies among consumers and persistent incorrect practices that may reduce recycling efficiency. The findings highlight the need for targeted educational and informational interventions, tailored to diverse social groups, to enhance consumer engagement and improve the functioning of packaging waste management systems in accordance with the circular economy concept. 

The growing challenges related to sustainable development are prompting the European Union to undertake intensive legislative actions aimed at strengthening the position of the consumer as an active participant in the ecological and social transformation. One of the key instruments of this policy is the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which introduces a mandatory requirement for companies to provide detailed reporting on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues. The aim of this article is to explore whether and how the guidelines introduced by the CSRD Directive and the accompanying European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) contribute to strengthening the enforcement of consumer rights. Based on a literature review and an analysis of the legal framework, it is indicated that mandatory ESG reporting can become an effective tool for increasing consumers' access to reliable and comparable non-financial data, thereby enabling them to make informed purchasing decisions and exert real influence on market practices. This article contributes to the ongoing debate on the role of EU regulations in shaping a more responsible and transparent market focused on the needs of modern consumers.
