Monitoring of the Мain Рarameters of Еnvironmental Safety Industrial Production

Abstract

A critical analysis of the existing approaches to monitoring the main parameters of the environmental safety of industrial production is presented, a number of shortcomings are revealed associated with the limited compliance methods for assessing the compliance of environmental indicators with current standards, or the degree of information transparency of companies; the lack of consideration of the impact of dividend and investment policies of companies on the environmental safety of industrial production; lack of comparability of environmental performance in public reports. The scientific novelty of the proposed monitoring lies in the use of a systematic approach to the formation of the main parameters of environmental safety and the expansion of monitoring directions by including trends in the relationship between economic and environmental indicators calculated from the data of public reports of companies. The study was carried out on the example of the metallurgical industry in Russia, which made it possible to assess the representativeness of environmental reports and trends in the environmental safety of the industry.
