The study contributes to the literature by developing a method for analyzing and processing available statistical information in the field of environmental protection in order to design an optimal plan of environmental measures. Decision-making is proposed to be carried out based on comparing the indicators of regional statistics with target indicators corresponding to the "ideal" state of the region’s economy and its environmental management system, computing by Data Envelopment Analysis model. The method can be easily incorporated in everyday practice of environmental management and can become an important element of information support system for environmental management in the regions.
