Institutional features of the regulation of investment activities of an environmental orientation

Abstract

The article presents a methodology for the formation of a system for early recognition of signals that characterize the occurrence of environmental and economic problems and the need to develop and implement environmental investment projects at industrial enterprises in the region, including a set of methods for obtaining, processing and analyzing information in the form of a sequence of five stages. The first stage is the search and primary processing of information. The second stage involves recognizing the position of the industrial enterprise and identifying problems. At the third stage, it is necessary to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the competitive position, the opportunities and threats of investment in environmental protection. The fourth stage makes it possible to determine the most likely scenario for the investment activity strategy. The essence of the fifth stage is the formation of a program to improve the mechanisms of institutional regulation of investment activity at all levels of management. An analysis of the strategic potential can be carried out in the form of an analysis of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats only using the factors influencing environmentally oriented investment activities. In the process of strategic analysis, the degree of readiness of an industrial enterprise, all industrial enterprises in the region to implement the new requirements of ISO 9001:2000 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management and the developed international standard ISO 19011, which combines the requirements of the two previous management standards, was clarified. The article shows that strategic analysis and environmental audit are interrelated and require simultaneous strategic control.
