Balanced and sustainable development of ‘green’ business in regions, using the instruments of economic security

Subject. This article considers the development of ‘green’ entrepreneurship in the context of ensuring the economic security of Russian regions. Objectives. We focus on developing a conceptual and instrumental basis for sustainable development of entrepreneurial segments of the ‘green’ economy, using the economic security tools for rapid identification and ranking of new threats and risks. Methods. The study rests on the methodology for determining the confidence interval to create threshold values of indicators of economic security and "green" entrepreneurship, supplemented by trend analysis to justify the priority of introducing ‘green’ entrepreneurship mechanisms in a particular region of the Russian Federation. Results. We underpin the priority of introducing mechanisms for ‘green’ entrepreneurship development, through modeling upper and lower boundaries of permissible values for indicator of air pollutant emissions from stationary sources, in the Moscow, Leningrad, Sverdlovsk, and Novosibirsk Oblast, and the Altai and Krasnodar Territory. Conclusions. Based on generalization and systematization of Russian and foreign experience, we provide a theoretical rationale for the content, role, classification, and interdependence of tools for sustainable development of business segments of the ‘green’ economy, clarify the concept of ‘sustainable development’ for the purposes of this study. We prove the hypothesis that priority support need those regions that incur the greatest risks in the environmental sphere, including large volumes of hazardous air pollutant emissions.

The Given

Subject. The article discusses the local economic security in terms of encouraging the development of green entrepreneurship. Objectives. We outline the conceptual and instrumental framework for ensuring the local economic security by desaggregating sustainable development goals into factors. The study also pursues the construction of administrative model for the local economic security in terms of sustainable development. Methods. The study combines the integral analysis and radar method, thereby evaluating how partial factors influence the comprehensive potential for the development of business segments of the green economy. We also substantiate strengths and weaknesses of the industry in terms of its impact on economic security. Results. Based on projections and estimates, the strategic view of the potential for the development of business segments of the green economy revealed strengths and weaknesses of the green economy, which, if managed, will reinforce the local economic security and ensure their sustainable development. To understand distinctions in the development of business segments of the green economy in terms of sustainable development and regional economic security, we tested the computations through the case of the Russian regions’ development. Conclusions and Relevance. We suggest using the aggregated administrative model for supporting business segments of the green economy, which is presented so as to specify goals of sustainable development. Not attained as much as they are supposed to in the given period, sustainable development goals urge federal and regional authorities to rely upon new points of growth while screening for constraints of green business.

Green Entrepreneurship

The purpose of this study is to determine the main directions of development of green entrepreneurship on the basis of environmental responsibility. The relevance of this study is due to the need to identify the main directions of green business development to solve environmental problems, based on the basic principles of environmental responsibility. It is believed that environmental responsibility is the basic basis for the formation of socially responsible green entrepreneurship, whose mission is environmental improvement on the basis of sustainable development. It is established thatit is expedient to consider ecological responsibility on levels (the state, the enterprises, the public).As the experience of successful companies shows, environmental responsibility can be integrated into the value and business of the company.The analysis revealed the main tools to stimulate green entrepreneurship: environmental taxes, "green" investments, instruments of stimulating influence on green entrepreneurship. It is established that in Ukraine the main responsibility for the implementation of sustainable development lies with the state and enterprises. The research revealed shortcomings in the organization of supervision measures and control over the targeted use of funds for the implementation of environmental programs. Also the imperfection of the regulatory framework, the inefficiency of the accounting, reporting and monitoring system, the ineffectiveness of measuresmonitoring the results of each project within a specific program to solve environmental problems. It is established that local governments and enterprises are two important participants in the environmental management system in Ukraine. Therefore, it is important to regulate environmental responsibility at the national, including regional, and corporate levels.
