Goal. To determine the features of forming environmental policy in the context of developing a circular economy. Method. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study comprises fundamental and contemporary works of domestic and foreign experts in the field of environmental policy and circular economy. The analysis of the formation and implementation of environmental policy in enterprises was conducted using various scientific methods that ensure a comprehensive and systematic approach to studying this issue. Methods of analysis and synthesis were used to generalize theoretical approaches and identify key aspects of enterprises' environmental policy. The analysis of scientific sources and practical examples allowed us to highlight the main elements and principles that form the basis of environmental policy in the context of a circular economy. Induction and deduction methods were employed to formulate general conclusions based on individual facts and data obtained during the study. This approach allowed for identifying general trends and patterns in the implementation of environmental policy in enterprises and assessing their impact on economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. The method of scientific abstraction was used to explore the development paths of environmental policy and assess the risks of its application in the conditions of a circular economy. This enabled identifying key trends and promising directions for further improvement of environmental management in enterprises. The comparative analysis method was applied to evaluate different approaches to the formation and implementation of environmental policy in enterprises in Ukraine and abroad. This allowed us to determine best practices and suggest recommendations for adapting international experience to the conditions of the Ukrainian economy. The graphical method was used to visualize the research results and present the interconnections between different aspects of environmental policy. This facilitated a better understanding of complex processes and eased the perception of information. Methods of observation and identification enabled the empirical assessment of the implementation of environmental policy in specific enterprises, as well as the identification of practical aspects and challenges faced by enterprises in this process. Results. Environmental policy is considered a key aspect of strategic management in an enterprise. This article is dedicated to exploring the formation of environmental policy in the context of developing a circular economy. A sequence of steps for developing an environmental program and policy to improve enterprise activities has been proposed. It has been proven that the main lever in forming environmental policy is the creation of environmental funds. Special attention is given to the study of practical aspects of implementing environmental policy and its impact on the economic efficiency of enterprises. Recommendations for implementing environmental policy, taking into account international standards ISO 9000 and ISO 14000, highlight the importance of ensuring transparency and openness in the process of implementing environmental initiatives. Additionally, the role of stakeholders in the successful implementation of environmental policy and the necessity of integrating environmental principles into all aspects of enterprise activities are discussed. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the comprehensive analysis of the processes of forming and implementing environmental policy in enterprises under the conditions of developing a circular economy. For the first time, a systematic study of the key aspects and principles of environmental policy in the context of modern sustainable development requirements has been conducted. The conducted research also provides new data on the impact of environmental policy on the efficiency of enterprises' activities and their ability to adapt to changes in environmental legislation and market requirements. The implementation of the circular economy concept is considered not only as a method for reducing waste but also as a strategic tool for enhancing enterprises' competitiveness and economic stability. Practical Significance. The main recommendations for enterprises regarding the implementation of effective environmental policy and management of environmental aspects of their activities are formulated.
