Abstract
The production growth rates, the generated volumes of waste by classes of hazard, an extent of fuel and energy resources and fresh water used for coal mining, as well as the volumes of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere of Ukrainian mining enterprises have been analyzed. It has been found that achieving the decoupling (reduction of anthropogenic load) is only possible under the condition of introducing the cleaner production technologies, non-waste technologies, innovations, replacement of obsolete capital funds, and the like. Mere changes in points will not significantly affect the situation, thus, companies should develop their own approach to the sustainable development by using the frameworks as templates. The calculations have been made of the decoupling phenomenon based on the volumes of emission, the volumes of generated waste by classes of hazard and used fuel and water resources, which showed an increased anthropogenic environmental impact and economic imbalance of the mining sector. The research has been made into the use of frameworks as an auxiliary tool for the implementation by mining companies of sustainable development principles. The developed DPSIR framework, illustrated with examples from foreign experience, is conceptual in character and makes it possible to understand the cause and effect relationships of the enterprise activities impact, including mining companies, on the environment and the mechanisms of better response to the resulting consequences.
Highlights
The development of raw material industries does not correspond to the strategic task of forming an innovation model of economy
The importance of the mining industry in the development of the national economy is quite high: the share of the total volume of industrial products sold in recent years is 1011%, enterprises of the industry in 2017 have paid 75 billion UAH of taxes, which is more than 40% of all taxes of legal entities [21, 22], which means the importance of managing the industry development on the principles of sustainable development
The study of the features and trends of mining enterprises in Ukraine and the world shows the unstable dynamics of production, investment and modernization costs
Summary
The development of raw material industries does not correspond to the strategic task of forming an innovation model of economy. The main task is to reach the trajectory of the growth, and to solve the accumulated problems and to ensure compliance with modern challenges, taking into account the sector peculiarities It is precisely for enterprises in the mining industry that the task of minimizing environmental damage becomes of a particular importance. The nature of which is determined, including their specific and strategic assets, the implementation of the concept of sustainable development is important – to substantiate the possibilities of adapting the modern analytical tools such as decoupling analysis, the use of which will enable to increase the level of information provision of management decisions on sustainable development at the enterprises of the industry;. – to offer detailed priority measures and a set of tools in the context of ensuring sustainable development of the mining industry
