Sustainable development is an extremely important area of activity for all businesses - the environmental component. This means that along with the main goal of any business - to make a profit while meeting the needs of the consumer - entrepreneurs must pay attention to the environmental consequences of their production activities. Of great importance for solving the problems of environmental safety, ensuring sustainable development is the preparation of production, which would guarantee the maximum effect from the introduction of innovative technologies and products, at least at a certain level of technological excellence. Such issues are already being developed and implemented in European and North American countries. In Ukraine, on the other hand, these aspects are still insufficiently studied and require both environmental and economic justification. The article is devoted to the study of the basic principles of the formation of sustainable development projects in enterprises, the establishment of cooperation between economic entities and financial institutions in order to ensure the effective achievement of the goals of the strategy of sustainable transformation of the state. The object of research in the article is the substantiation of methodological and applied recommendations for the creation of a special intermediary fund between enterprises and financial institutions for scientific, technological and environmental preparation of production (STEPP). Each enterprise that conducts work on the development of innovative projects, and therefore organizes the preparation of production, should form an appropriate fund for STEPP, which should be responsible for the quality of projects of product designs and production schemes that will ensure environmental safety of the enterprise. Such a fund, created directly at the production plant, would be an accumulator of funds received for the development of technologies, taking into account the requirements of sustainable development. Accordingly, such a fund should act on behalf of the company with the initiative to obtain the necessary credit resources and enter into relations with commercial banks or credit unions. Employees of the fund should cooperate with credit institutions in order to obtain the necessary loans. Research methods: dialectical method and methods of analysis and synthesis - to study the features of the implementation of innovative works at the stage of scientific, technological and environmental preparation of production in the formation of sustainable development projects; structural and logical analysis - development of theoretical and methodological principles of the fund to ensure cooperation in financing sustainable development projects. The article proposes the formation of the stage of scientific-technological-environmental preparation of production for enterprises that are working on the development of innovative projects. The environmental component should be added to the development of structures and technologies in the technical and economic aspect.

More than being funders of development projects, international financial institutions (IFIs) should also be viewed as international law-makers, or more specifically as participants in the international law-making process relating to sustainable development. Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as endorsed by the UN General Assembly, relies not only on the IFIs’ continued performance of their economic functions, but also on their collective efforts to set and apply standards for integrating economic, environmental and social considerations in development projects. In presenting IFIs as law-makers in the field of sustainable development, this article focuses on the ‘safeguard systems’ that IFIs have individually created in order to ensure the sustainability of the development projects they finance. Through the safeguard system and its components’ respective functions, IFIs clarify, elaborate and operationalise the concept of sustainable development, and thereby participate in the international law-making process relating to this concept. Additionally, the IFIs’ participation involves enabling other non-state actors to also participate in development decision-making at the international level. The law-making functions of IFIs and the emergence of a droit commun among them bear valuable insights and implications on the current discussion surrounding the new institutions, whose entry into the multilateral development banking system has elicited anxiety about a race to the bottom in sustainability standards. This article shows why this speculated outcome is not a foregone conclusion. It suggests that preventing a race to the bottom in sustainability standards entails strengthening one component of the safeguard system, the independent accountability mechanism, which interprets the system's other component, ie the IFIs’ environmental and social policies. The ongoing efforts to harmonise the IFIs’ safeguard policies should likewise be encouraged. As specialised international organisations and members of the international community, the IFIs (and their member states) should react to adverse competitive pressures with the overarching consideration of responding to the demands and expectations of the international community. This approach means continuing to implement the global commitment to the sustainable development principles of integration and public participation, as well as maintaining the protection of the rights and interests of people affected by development projects.

The purpose of the research is to construct positioning maps of local areas to assess the results of their positioning in terms of the environmental component of sustainable development. The article uses methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical and graphic, mapping method, comparative analysis and modelling, which made it possible to research the parameters and components of the local territories` (regions, cities and districts) positioning and to determine indicators for assessing their positions regarding economic, social and environmental components. Based on the rating estimates for the sustainable development of local areas, positioning maps have been constructed using the Ukrainian regions, districts and regional significance cities in the Luhansk region as the example. The article results proposed to expand the environmental indicators list for the positioning implementation based on the environmental assessment in the local level, which will allow the scientific and practical approach to assess the territorial units’ positions from the sustainable development point of view.

The article presents the results of the analysis of the Russian eco-finance system: fundamental strategies, key regulatory documents, measures and tools. The analysis was based on the methodology of sustainable development and consideration of ESG factors. We found that the formation of the institutional framework of ecofinance and the development of advanced measures of support and stimulation of projects of green economy takes into account methodological principles for sustainable development: integrating anthropogenic impacts on natural areas; balanced decision-making on establishing regulatory requirements in the field of environmental safety, responsibility for negative impact on the environment; priority of national interests in the development of measures. The analysis showed that there is an established system of measures to support and stimulate eco-projects, both administrative and financial, direct and indirect, incentives and sanctions. The system is evolving and being modernized: measures have been developed and implemented to support issuers of securities whose target orientation (securities) is related to investing in eco-projects, and a draft article “Environmental tax” has been developed and is being discussed. The features of the Russian system of support and stimulation of environmental projects are its “youth”, being at the stage of formation, and the “lack of configuration” of economic mechanisms, which makes it difficult to assess the effectiveness of the measures taken. When evaluating environmental projects and the effectiveness of support measures, it is advisable to take into account the principles of sustainable economy, as well as the relationship and mutual influence of ESG factors.

In the period of intensive development of all social processes it is important to perfectly organize time, both personal and collective. One of the main tasks in performing the tasks is the optimal use of not only the manager's own working time, but also the effective organization of the team with the maximum effect. Achieving this goal becomes possible with the use of time management tool - time management. The purpose of scientific work is to substantiate the theoretical, methodological and practical principles for evaluating the effectiveness of corporate time management of the organization in modern conditions. The general scientific research methods such as system analysis and synthesis, methods of systematization, generalization, modelling and formalization were used in the work. The theoretical and methodical bases of effective management of corporate time management are investigated in the work. Approaches to the interpretation of the concept of "individual time management" and "corporate time management" are highlighted. The concept of "corporate time management" is clarified. The directions of corporate time management are identified and described: individual, corporate and at the highest level of management and connections between the main divisions of the organization. In addition, in chronological order, the stages of implementation of corporate time management in the structure of the organization were indicated and considered. The authors identified the advantages and disadvantages of implementing corporate time management. The main problems that slow down the implementation of corporate time management in Ukraine were considered and directions for their solution were proposed. The existing approach to time management evaluation is analyzed and the criteria according to which the evaluation is carried out are described. In addition, the choice of approach to assessing the effectiveness of corporate time management system of the enterprise was justified. To improve the existing method, a methodology was developed that can be used to find an integrated indicator of the level of corporate time management, which includes the evaluation of all its components.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical concepts and methodological bases for assessing the level of enterprise viability. Research methods. The basis to the formation of theoretical and methodological principles for assessing the viability of enterprises was a systematic approach. In the process of the research the dialectical means of perceiving the processes and phenomena were used, as well as the method of analysis (to determine the components of enterprise viability and relationships between them), the comparative method (to identify the common and different in the existing methods of assessing enterprise viability), the graphical method (to build a model of enterprise viability on the basis of sustainable development), the method of generalization (describing the stages of assessing the enterprise viability), the abstract-logical method (theoretical generalizations and formulation of conclusions). Research results. Based on the principles of sustainable development, the main three areas of the enterprise interaction with the external environment for the formation of its viability are identified: economic, social and environmental. Based on the analysis of existing approaches to assessing the enterprise viability, the main directions for assessing the viability are suggested, depending on the scope of interaction between the enterprise and the external environment. The stages of assessing the enterprise viability have been formed. Scientific novelty. The methodological bases for assessing the level of enterprise viability based on evaluating the stability of internal subsystems of the enterprise, its corporate culture, relations with internal and external partners, as well as environmental safety have been improved. Practical significance. The proposed methodological guidelines will help systematically and comprehensively assess the enterprise viability in terms of its internal and external environments, and will make it possible to perform a comparative analysis of the enterprise viability in the dynamics of a number of years or for different enterprises between them.

This study analyses the impact of Spanish financial institutions’ risk profile on their contribution to the 2030 Agenda. Financial institutions play a significant role in ensuring financial inclusion and sustainable economic growth and usually incorporate environmental and social considerations into their risk management systems. The results show that financial institutions with less capital risk, with lower management efficiency and with higher market risk usually make higher contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to their sustainability reports. The novel aspect of the present study is that it identifies the risk profile of financial institutions that incorporate sustainability into their business operations and measure the impact generated in the environment and in society. The study findings have important implications for shareholders, investors and analysts, according to the view that sustainability reporting is a vehicle that financial institutions use to express their commitment to the 2030 Agenda and to higher quality corporate reporting.
