Abstract

Ensuring stable long-term growth of financial and economic results of the economic activity of enterprises in a competitive environment requires the elaboration and implementation of the program of their economic development. It is important that the development was not only absolute but also relative, i.e. accompanied by an increase in the level of the economic efficiency of enterprises. In particular, in conditions of limited volumes and high prices for certain types of economic resources, increasing the level of competitiveness of enterprises can be achieved by reducing the unit cost of these resources. Such a reduction will be achieved based on the implementation of the resource-saving model of the economic development of enterprises. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish the essence, highlight the properties and develop indicators for assessing the sustainable resource-saving economic development of enterprises. The author's approach to defining the essence of this type of economic development is presented. It is shown that the sustainable resource-saving economic development can occur at different levels, in particular, at the level of an individual enterprise, industry and the entire economy. At the same time, various generalizing indicators can be used to assess this type of economic development, one of which may be the value-added indicator. It is established that the results of the assessment of sustainable resource-saving economic development of enterprises largely depend on what period is taken as the baseline. A number of properties of the studied type of the economic development of economic entities are singled out. In particular, its most important characteristics include the level of sustainable resource-saving economic development, its uniformity, balance, frequency, and so on. Particular attention is paid to the potential for economic growth and the potential for reducing the consumption of economic resources. Indicators for assessing the properties of sustainable resource-saving economic development of enterprises are proposed. The practical application of the proposed indicators for assessing the properties of sustainable resource-saving economic development will make it possible to provide a detailed description and identify reserves for intensification in the future.
