Abstract

Based on the provisions of corporate social responsibility and taking into account the specifics of Russian mining enterprises, the authors attempt to understand theoretically the corporate social and environmental responsibility in this paper. The study shows that the essence of the principles of socially responsible behavior has ancient roots, while the consumer's attitude towards nature begins only in the era of modern times. The genesis, evolution and transformation of social responsibility in Western countries in the twentieth century are traced. The necessity of taking into account the national social and cultural specifics of the domestic economy is substantiated instead of blind copying of foreign management practices. The difference in the formation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) abroad and in Russia is shown. The list of facts and factors contributing to the formation of CSR in Russian realities is given. With regard to the coal industry enterprises inconsistencies have been identified. Their overcoming will allow the enterprises formulating strategies for corporate social and environmental responsibility. The advantages of social and environmental responsibility in comparison with the legal one are presented. In conclusion, the authors summed up the theoretical interpretation of the object claimed in the introduction.

Uncontrolled expansion of a human being into the space of nature, which led to the global environmental problems, we associate with the proclaimed by F.

The main goal of the capitalists was to obtain the maximum profit without taking into account any ethical aspects of conducting entrepreneurial activity. Such consumerism, on the one hand, has opened to the mankind unlimited possibilities for the transformation and use of nature in its own interests, on the other, increased its negative impact on it. The industrial revolution led to a rapid economic growth and simultaneous degradation of the environment: the maximum speed and efficiency of the use of natural resources caused a rapid destruction of the environment. Natural resources, which seemed unlimited, could not withstand their outstripping use by entrepreneurial structures
