Abstract
The article focuses on the problem of the structural risk level diagnostics in the sphere of waste management at the railway transport objects. The specifics of the railway enterprises activity are the multi-vector business processes executed, which determines a significant nomenclature and volumes of formation, accumulation of wastes of different danger classes. A retrospective analysis of this problem on Ukrainian railways for 2007 – 2018 showed significant structural fluctuations both in terms of volume formation and in the costs and ecological payments for environmental protection in sphere of waste management. The method of sensitivity analysis, the peculiarity of which is to calculate the elasticity coefficients for determining the degree of environmental costs interaction in the field of waste management with the change of their components (capital investment, current costs, environmental tax and environmental services), is implemented. The corresponding elasticities for 2008 – 2018 showed a considerable variation of the most significant risk factors that were atypical for JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” and 6 railways. The existing structure needs to be better diagnosed with a purpose of ensuring stability and predictability of environmental costs in order to reduce structural risk, rational environmental management and to ensure the ecology of rolling stock and objects of railway transport infrastructure.
Highlights
The problems of effective economic-ecological management of Ukrainian railways production activities and business operations received significant attention within the works of many scientists [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]
There have been investigated the key problems of railways management, mechanisms of environmental management, of railway transport enterprises sustainable development; methodical approaches to assessing the environmental impact of railway transport enterprises activities; economicecological measures for upgrading environmental situation on the railways, etc
General costs for waste management consist of capital investments, current expenditures, environmental tax and environment-related services in the area of waste management
Summary
The problems of effective economic-ecological management of Ukrainian railways production activities and business operations received significant attention within the works of many scientists [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. Retrospective study of the key financial and economic indicators in the area of waste management at Ukrainian railways and JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” over the 12-years period, from 2007 to 2018, allows us to conclude about structural and dynamic fluctuations, both in natural and monetary equivalent. General costs for waste management consist of capital investments, current expenditures, environmental tax and environment-related services in the area of waste management. For 6 Ukrainian railways, these costs halved in 2017 comparing with 2016, but increase in 2.25 times in 2018 in comparison with 2017
