The Formation Mechanism of Sustainable Development of Enterprises
Kuznetsova E.Yu., Kuznetsov S.V.
Abstract
. The volatility of energy prices observed in international markets is the reason for the instability of the domestic economic system and serves as a justification for changing the raw material development model. Along with the current problem of avoiding a commodity-dependent development model fraught with negative environmental consequences, the issue of a transition to sustainable development is equally important. This is due to the fact that sustainable development is in itself a multi-factor model and means not only the solution of economic issues (for example, the transition to modern technological processes), but also environmental (for example, minimizing impact on the environment) and social (poverty alleviation, poverty reduction health, etc.) ones. The management mechanisms used at Russian enterprises do not ensure their sustainable development. The objectives of the article are to substantiate the priority of the economic factor of sustainable development; to identify requirements for the formation of industrial policies, to develop an integration mechanism for the interaction of the enterprise with innovation infrastructure facilities as a tool for implementing the concept of sustainable development. The existing approaches to the definition of the concept of "sustainable development" are analyzed. It is proven that sustainable development must be implemented through the development of state industrial policy. An integrative mechanism of interaction between the objects of the innovation process as one of the tools for achieving sustainable development goals at industrial enterprises is proposed and considered. The systemic approach is used in the work, which makes it possible to implement the proposed version of the sustainable development mechanism as a set of interacting entities. For the purpose of monitoring sustainable development, proposals have been formulated on the formation of indicators for the attainment of the set goals, taking into account the environmental and social factors of sustainable development for an industrial enterprise. The main provisions and conclusions of the article may be of interest to the authorities when developing a national strategy for sustainable development and programs for the implementation of strategic state tasks, as well as for industrial enterprises in the process of forming strategic programs for sustainable development, taking into account the environmental and social factors.
