- Abstract:
- The rationale for the practical implementation of the principles of the sustainable development concept at the level of economic entities is due to the fact that they are not yet mandatory for enterprises and organizations in the Russian Federation. Unlike at the national level, the application of the sustainable development concept at the level of economic entities remains a desirable but not mandatory component of their activities. Based on the use of general scientific theoretical methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, generalization, induction, deduction, etc.), the study has formed a holistic understanding of the implementation of the principles of sustainable development in the activities of economic entities, and has also attempted to provide a theoretical justification for certain aspects of the organization of economic entities' activities in accordance with the concept of sustainable development. Unlike existing approaches to analyzing the activities of economic entities in implementing the principles of sustainable development, the authors propose considering social and environmental activities in an inseparable connection with production activities. Since it is the scale of production activities and their effectiveness that determine the content of social and environmental activities, as well as the capabilities of economic entities to carry them out. In accordance with this, an attempt has been made to determine the minimum boundaries of social and environmental activities from the perspective of ensuring sustainable development of economic entities, as well as the possibilities for expanding them.
