Objectives:
This article applies stakeholder theory to municipal efforts to reduce urban smog in Mikołów, Silesian Voivodeship. The goal was to assess the potential and actual implementation of stakeholder theory in local government actions.

Material and methods:
The research hypothesis assumed that the actions of Mikołów's municipal authorities utilize elements of stakeholder theory in the aforementioned area, focusing on communication with various stakeholder groups regarding initiatives or projects aimed at reducing urban smog and closely resembling PR activities. The conducted analyses confirmed the research hypothesis. A case study method was employed in this article. The conducted research and analyses are qualitative. The limitation was the access to information.

Results:
They allowed to understand the actions undertaken by the municipal authorities towards key stakeholders from the perspective of reducing urban smog in Mikołów and to assess their justification and scope of advancement in connection with the assumptions of stakeholder theory.

Conclusions:
This article attempts to explore the possibilities of using stakeholder theory in the context of municipal government actions aimed at reducing urban smog. Mikołów municipal authorities undertake many projects and initiatives to encourage them to modernize their heating installations. Despite the indicated directions of the municipal authorities' actions in Mikołów and the observation that they align with the principles of stakeholder theory, such actions so far are limited to informational activities and largely resemble public relations aimed at creating a positive image of the municipal authorities among residents. For now, this approach proves to be pragmatic because it ensures the continuity of the mayor's tenure in this city and the majority of councilors.
