THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO THE DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF A MINING ENTERPRISE

The problem of sustainable development is becoming more and more urgent and paramount, it carries the basis of all economic policy. In 1987, the Chairman of the International Commission on Environment and Development for the first time identified a type of development that takes into account not only the interests of the social sphere, but also the environment (ecology). The concept of sustainable development was a response of the stakeholders of large enterprises to the increasing environmental problems against the background of economic growth and an attempt to solve the problem of forming a new model of human civilization development. The main task of sustainable development is to satisfy human needs and aspirations, to ensure the development of the present generation without prejudice to the interests of the future. To date, there has not been a single interpretation of sustainable development as a specific term. Foreign and Russian researchers in each of their work find different relationships and factors of influence, with the help of which it would be possible to determine a universal interpretation of sustainable development for widespread use. In the study of various approaches to the definition of sustainable development of enterprises, it was found that this concept must be considered from the point of view of efficiency for all functional areas of its activities, while taking into account the interests of society, the economy and the environment as a whole. Special attention is paid to the sustainable development of the mining industry (a large-scale branch of the world economy). The specific features of the mining company's production activities determine the importance of following the Concept of the Transition of the Russian Federation to Sustainable Development. Based on the reflected principles of sustainable development of the mining enterprise, the main parameters and characteristics necessary to clarify the definition of sustainable development of the enterprise of the relevant industry were identified. The results of the study expand and supplement the known knowledge about theoretical approaches to the definition of the category under study.
