Industrial ecology and environmental management: reducing the level of systemic risks

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the directions of reducing systemic risks in the process of industrial companies as participants in the process of environmental management. Analysing the totality of sources within the framework of the topic under study through comparative and analytical methods, the author determines that the environment is considered as a set of both inanimate and living beings, as well as their impact on human living existence. It is attributed to the totality of both the physical and biotic environment in which human life and work take place, or the habitat of plants and animals. It is an environment in which humans, fauna and flora survive or function. It is generally recognized that in recent centuries anthropogenic impacts have disrupted the harmony of ecosystems (air, soil, water), changed the surface of the Earth's crust, redesigned the standard of living. Natural resources can contribute to growth, development and poverty reduction. Globally, the extractive industry sector has grown exponentially, contributing to economic development. However, many countries in which organizations extract these natural resources face problems such as resource dependence and poor governance. It is significant that the extractive industries are divided into two sectors: mining and oil and gas. Companies in the extractive industries extract raw materials, including oil, coal, gold, iron, copper and other minerals, from the ground. Industrial mining processes include drilling, pumping, quarrying and mining. using resources to develop new ways to protect the environment.
