Abstract: Industrial Parks (IPs) and other forms of industrial agglomerations not only play an ever-increasing role in economic development, but may also contribute to the implementation of the principles of sustainable development. Modern-day IPs in Hungary face a number of environmental challenges, from the need to clean up historical pollution to compliance with European Union (EU) regulations. A survey conducted at the Corvinus University of Budapest shows that while many IP organisations – the coordinating umbrella organisations of IPs – are aware of these tasks, their activities often lag behind. This paper looks at the environmental practices and motives of these IP organisations and provides suggestions for their future development.
