Abstract

Methods. The study of the problem of selecting projects for sustainable development of an enterprise, taking into account the interests of stakeholders, is based on the theoretical and methodological concepts of sustainable development, stakeholders, project management, rational and irrational behaviour of economic subjects. General scientific methods of research that were used are the method of analysis and synthesis – in the study of corporate sustainable development in the aspect of project management; general and specific – when justifying the specifics of taking into account the interests of stakeholders during the selection of sustainable development projects for an enterprise; cluster analysis – when substantiating the group interest of the company’s stakeholders; discrete analysis – when proving the discreteness property of such indicators as benefits and contributions to projects of corporate sustainable development. Results. The article researches the methodological problem of ensuring the sustainable development of enterprises in the context of the need to achieve global goals of sustainable development for the socio-economic and ecological post-war development of Ukraine and the consolidation of society around the implementation of sustainable development projects. The debatable nature of some aspects of modern mechanisms for ensuring the sustainable development of enterprises is shown. The attitude of scientists to the participation of stakeholders in ensuring the sustainable development of enterprises is analysed. It is substantiated that the sustainable development of enterprises is possible if the interests of stakeholders are taken into account. The problem of choosing projects for the sustainable development of enterprises if the interests of stakeholders are taken into account is described. It is proposed to solve the problem of choosing projects of sustainable development of an enterprise by the method of fuzzy sets, which will allow taking into account the subjective evaluation judgments of stakeholders regarding the amounts of benefits and contributions to projects of corporate sustainable development. Novelty. Based on the generalization of theoretical provisions, the problem is outlined and directions for improving the sustainable development of the enterprise are proposed based on taking into account the interests of stakeholders during the selection of sustainable development projects in order to achieve the global goals of sustainable development at the state level. Practical value. The outlined problem of choosing projects of corporate sustainable development with taking into account the interests of stakeholders and the proposed ways of its solving will allow managers to form more consciously effective management mechanisms for decision-making with the involvement of stakeholders and will condition the achievement of global goals of sustainable development at the state level.
