Introduction. Global trends in the decarbonization of production and the development of the green economy prove that the principles of sustainable development have become a key reference point for making management decisions. Ukrainian agribusiness suffered huge losses due to military actions, so significant funds are needed for its reconstruction. To attract foreign investments, agricultural enterprises must prove their commitment to sustainable development goals by disclosing relevant information in the reporting. Purpose. The article aims to substantiate the practicality of preparing and publishing the Report on Sustainable Development as a tool for attracting investments for the green reconstruction of Ukraine's agricultural sector and to reveal its information content. Methods. The paper uses an abstract-logical method to substantiate the benefits of reporting on sustainable development by agricultural enterprises. Based on the application of methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and logical generalization, the content (indicators) of the Report on Sustainable Development and Investments was revealed. Using the analogy method made it possible to strengthen the justification of the importance of sustainability reporting in Ukraine based on the EU countries' experience and the agribusiness need for foreign investments. Results. The paper systematizes the indicators of the Report on Sustainable Development and Investments in the agricultural sector and reveals some aspects of the normative regulation of sustainability reporting. An analysis of the factors of agricultural production was carried out, the disclosure of which in the Report on Sustainable Development will increase the agricultural enterprise's investment attractiveness and testify to its desire to be more open (accountable) to society. Conclusion. Sustainability reporting can be a tool for an agribusiness to better understand its impact on the environment and risks and manage them more effectively, successfully use new opportunities and solve specific challenges to become a leader in sustainable development. The Report on Sustainable Development and Investments in the agricultural sector ensures greater transparency of the enterprise's activities. It demonstrates to interested parties and the public its commitment to the principles of sustainable development, which increases the chances of successfully attracting external financing – foreign investments.

In modern conditions, the speed of changes taking place in the economy negatively affects the value created by the business for stakeholders. The architecture of business models of responsible consumption and transfer of responsibility developed by the author makes it possible to adapt familiar profit-making models to the existing conditions of transition to the principles of sustainable development and decarbonization of production in the oil and gas sector of the economy. In turn, the studied theoretical platform for value formation and the construction of business models by elements allows us to refine existing concepts of profit creation models, taking into account the new conditions for the transition to a low-carbon economy. The concept of value creation by transferring responsibility and changing the input level of value creation (resource provider) also provides for a system of indicators to assess the social, managerial and environmental effects of implementing the architecture of the proposed business models.

Low-Carbon Technology Innovation Decision Making of Manufacturing Companies in the Industrial Internet Platform Ecosystem

Low carbon has become a highly relevant topic in today’s society, particularly for manufacturing enterprises. To gain insight into how manufacturing enterprises embedded in the industrial internet platform make decisions regarding low-carbon technology innovation, this article examines the service quality of the platform, the low-carbon preferences of the manufacturing enterprises, and government subsidy factors. A platform ecological system game model, comprised of a single manufacturing enterprise and an industrial internet platform, is then established. The results indicate that, under the model’s assumptions, the decarbonization of production can only occur when the cost of low-carbon innovation is below a specific threshold. Decentralized decision making is more effective in promoting low-carbon innovation by the manufacturing enterprises when the cost of low-carbon technology innovation is low. The greater the service quality of the industrial internet platform, the stronger the positive influence of the low-carbon preferences of users and government subsidies on the low-carbon innovation level of the manufacturing enterprises. This study offers useful decision-making advice for both the industrial internet platform and the manufacturing enterprises.

Ecological activity of oil and gas companies in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra

The enterprises of the oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation are one of the largest sources of negative environmental impacts; therefore, a comprehensive assessment of their ecological activities is necessary. The purpose of the study is to investigate the ecological activities of the subsoil user enterprises of the main oil and gas producing region of the country - Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, including activities related to the low-carbon transition. The article analyzes the open information on the environmental activities of eight oil and gas producing enterprises of KhMAO-Yugra for the period 2015-2019. A list of evaluation indicators is proposed that allows comparing oil and gas producing enterprises with each other and evaluating the main directions of their ecological activities, including those in the field of decarbonization of production. The key areas of ecological activities of the district’s enterprises are the reduction of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere, including through the utilization of associated petroleum gases, optimization of water use, as well as the fight against pipeline breaks. In the development strategies of most oil and gas producing enterprises of the district, a trend towards decarbonization has been identified.

Proposal of a research design for the implementation of new vectors of supply chain transformation: application to the aeronautical industry in Morocco using a knowledge management approach in an ecosystemic context

In the context of the new economy, the new vectors of competitiveness of companies in the aerospace industry organized within efficient ecosystems (EFECO) will be based more on knowledge. These are Industry 4.0 and the decarbonization of production based on knowledge management (KM). These two levers will be the foundations of the transformation of the aeronautical supply chain in the future. For their implementation, we made a case study on a non-probability sample of 17 partners. At the end of this investigation, we propose implementing a new generation of transversal ecosystems within the framework of a new Industrial Acceleration Plan 2.0. This new form of organization will facilitate a collaborative sharing of knowledge between all the ecosystemic components with a view to innovation. Starting from the Industrial Acceleration Plan ( IAP) (2014-2020), we will make our proposal based on a knowledge management approach. In this context, our epistemological posture will be interpretative with a constructivism arranged. Our methodological approach will be qualitative. Our study will be in line with a perspective of proactivity and supposition.
