description Energy management in enterprises is an important issue in the context of improving energy efficiency, energy use, and energy consumption. This is consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the energy management system of water and wastewater utility in the context of sustainable development based on the opinions of managers and employees. The results indicate the involvement of the surveyed enterprise in energy management system development activity. This demonstrates the orientation of the surveyed enterprise to support activities to improve energy performance in line with the implementation of sustainable development. The added value is that the developed research tool can be used in studies of other enterprises to assess the level of energy management.
