In the paper we propose a practical application of the path goal programming approach, by which we understand a goal programming approach with goals being not numbers, but paths in networks. This method, with goal paths corresponding to desired schedules of environmental investment implementation, is used for the environmental decision-making in a selected company. The company has to introduce some investments aimed at natural resources reduction. However, not all the required investments can be realized in one budgeting period, because of budget constraints. The desired compromise schedule of investment realization has to be worked out. This schedule becomes the goal. The path goal programming method helps to reduce the undesired deviations from the goal schedule.
