ECOLOGICAL MODERNISATION OF PRODUCTION FOR INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

Rapid ecological modernisation of production and implementation of innovative environmental solutions are crucial conditions for ensuring the competitiveness of industrial enterprises in the context of the implementation of the decarbonisation policy, toughening environmental requirements for anthropogenic impact on the environment and high risks in the energy sector. It has been established that ecological modernisation helps to reduce anthropogenic impact on the environment, increase the efficiency of the use of raw materials, improve energy efficiency, and introduce the best available technologies and production methods. Limited investment resources, short implementation time and high-security risks necessitate improving the efficiency of environmental management in terms of environmental investment. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for improving the environmental management of industrial enterprises by developing an optimisation model for assessing the effectiveness of ecological modernisation and introducing innovative environmentally friendly technologies into production, which serves as an information base for making informed management decisions. An optimisation modelling of investment in ecological modernisation is proposed, which will ensure the most efficient allocation of available resources. It is determined that the preparatory stage of investing in ecological modernisation includes an inventory of the quantitative and qualitative condition of production modules, an environmental audit of anthropogenic impact, an assessment of the potential for introducing the best technologies and management methods, and the development of alternative scenarios. An integral indicator of the efficiency of ecological modernisation of production is proposed, which consists of two components: the index of return on investment and the index of environmental categories of impact. Optimisation modelling of efficiency of ecological modernisation allows identification and assessment of alternative scenarios of investing in ecological modernisation and selection of the best one. The practical use of optimisation modelling of ecological modernisation efficiency will help to improve the efficiency of environmental management and make informed decisions.
