The paper deals with the study and investigation of various theoretical approaches to the interpretation of “management” and “sustainable development” concepts, as well as the features of the sustainable development formation concept. It deals with the diversity of views concerning the sustainable development concept in terms of commercial enterprise. The importance of concept implementation is explained by the possibility of balancing the sustainability of all activity components, which provides the growth of socio-economic indicators while preserving the environment and natural resources. The purpose of the investigation is the theoretical substantiation of rationale of the meaning of enterprise sustainable development management concept and the principles of its provision. In the investigation process the following complex methodological approach are applied: theoretical generalization, synergetic, abstract-logical and graphical methods for more synthesized image of the investigated object. The main approaches for determining the enterprise sustainable development are studied and clarified. Emphasis is placed on the expediency of the integrated approach for ensuring the concept of sustainable development management as that one which takes into account the features of all components development and provides an overall assessment of the enterprise sustainability subsystems. The characteristics of the group of stability indicators are defined in this paper. Their definition makes it possible to carry out the detail analysis of activity aspects. Directions for the improvement of the organization conditions due to the implementation of sustainable development management concept are formulated. The importance of the chosen problem is caused by permanent search for effective management mechanisms focusing the management activity on current problems and factors of changing environment negatively affecting the enterprise sustainability. This means that the shifts in enterprise sustainable management provide the opportunity to implement an integrated management policy by required changes resulting in the optimization of business processes, the increase of the level of transparency in operation and the compliance with the principles of sustainable development while preserving the environment.

In the present context, the issues of sustainable development of commercial banks are becoming particularly relevant, since they largely determine the state of the country’s economy as a whole. At the same time, commercial banks operate under the influence of various factors of the internal and external environment, digital transformation and the transition to the fourth industrial revolution, which significantly changes the conditions of their functioning. The time lag in which a credit institution can be in a relatively static, stable state is reduced. In this regard, there is a need to develop a methodology for assessing the sustainable development of commercial banks. This paper aims to develop theoretical provisions and methods for assessing the sustainable development of commercial banks using the analytic hierarchy process. As a result of the research, theoretical approaches to the disclosure of the economic content of the sustainable development of commercial banks, as well as existing A methodological approach to assessing the sustainability of the bank’s development is justified, considering five components: economic, social, environmental, institutional and technological. Within the framework of this approach, criteria for their assessment are proposed for each of the components of the sustainability of the development of commercial banks, a scale of their relative importance is constructed and vectors are determined based on expert assessments. The authors make a conclusion that it is necessary to distinguish four types of stability of the bank’s development: absolute stability, normal stability, unstable state, crisis state. This approach can be used by commercial banks when developing a strategy for the sustainable development of financial and credit organizations. Prospects for further research may be associated with the development of alternative methods for assessing the sustainable development of commercial banks.

The article deals with the management of sustainable development of business entities. So, stability characterizes the current state of a certain economic object to the pressure of external factors. In order to increase the stability of the organization to the effects of various factors, it is necessary to improve the object itself in such areas as social, economic and financial stability. These concepts are interrelated and actively affect the current economic activity of the facility. This article discusses various approaches to determining the sustainable development of organizations at different levels of business processes. The aim of the study of management of sustainable development of business entities is to develop optimal mechanisms of economic management that ensure the current sustainability of organizations. To achieve this goal, the issues of social, economic and financial stability of organizations were considered, the main trends and results of economic decisions during the functioning of economic entities were analyzed, the degree of their resistance to market conditions was determined.

Machine-building enterprises have been proven to play the main role in ensuring the sustainable development of Ukraine’s machine-building industry, as the latter is the main component of Ukraine’s economic complex. The state and prospects of the further development of machine-building enterprises is an important research area dealing with the current transformation processes in Ukraine, as implementing innovations at machine-building enterprises is problematic due to the difficult financial and economic situation in the country. It is concluded that the scientific and methodological approach to assessing the sustainable development of machine-building enterprises covers the full range of the constantly changing financial and economic information, and takes into account all the possibilities for enterprise development, as the current situation, being characterized by rapid economic changes at machine-building enterprises, requires new methodological approaches to its studying. The suggested scientific and methodological approach should become that very tool in the strategic management system of an enterprise, which would take into account the existing objectives and, relying on the analysis of financial and economic situation and statistics data on the sustainable development of the enterprise, would allow timely adjustment of the entire management activity, as the main purpose of the approach is to identify, at the earliest possible time, the difference between the actual results of the sustainable development of enterprises and the forecasted ones; to identify the reasons that caused this difference; to suggest actions to properly adjust particular areas of financial and economic activity in order to normalize them and enhance the general enterprise development.

The global disconnect between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), has been described as ‘a missed opportunity’. Since devolution, the Welsh Government has actively pursued a ‘sustainable development’ and a ‘children’s rights’ agenda. However, until recently, these separate agendas also did not contribute to each other, although they culminated in two radical and innovative pieces of legislation; the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure (2013) and the Well-being and Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015). This article offers a case study that draws upon the SDGs and the CRC and considers how recent guidance to Welsh public bodies for implementation attempts to contribute to a more integrated approach. It suggests that successful integration requires recognition of the importance of including children in deliberative processes, using both formal mechanisms, such as local authority youth forums, pupil councils and a national youth parliament, and informal mechanisms, such as child-led research, that enable children to initiate and influence sustainable change.

The purpose of the article is to improve approaches to assessing the effectiveness of innovative activities of the food industry and its individual subsectors to identify prospects for development and problems that can hinder the sustainable development of this area of production and the country as a whole. Research methods. The article uses the methods of theoretical generalizations and comparisons, which made it possible to comprehensively consider and generalize methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of innovation in industries. When systematizing the calculated data by the intensity of innovation costs, the methods of statistical classification and grouping were used. To achieve the goal of the study, the methodology for assessing the level of manufacturability of industries has been improved (the OECD methodology is taken as a basis), which made it possible to re-evaluate the effectiveness of innovative activities in sub-sectors of the food industry with an emphasis on the computerization of production. Research results. The article presents a methodical approach to assessing the effectiveness of innovation in the food industry. The study is based on the OECD methodology for assessing the manufacturability of industries, which is to calculate the weighted average cost intensity of R & D. The application of this approach to the food industry has confirmed the too low level of its innovative manufacturability. It was found that due to the lack of relevant statistics on R&D expenditures, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of innovation in certain sectors of the food industry. It is proposed to solve this problem with the help of capital investment indicators, which are invested in the software of industries and are directly related to the level of computerization of technological processes. The obtained indicators of the intensity of software costs are ranked in descending order and divided into three groups according to the level of computerization, which characterizes the efficiency of innovation, as its level increases profits and profitability in industries. This will contribute to the goals of sustainable development of the country (including goals 2 and 9) and increase the competitiveness of the food industry. Scientific novelty. A methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of innovative activities of sub-sectors of the food industry in Ukraine is proposed, which will contribute to the formation of a new look at the research methodology of this area of knowledge. Practical significance. Designed for professionals in the field of food industry economics, scientists, teachers, graduate students and students of higher educational institutions. The results of the study can be used by experts to assess the level of manufacturability of industries. Tabl.: 3. Refs.: 30.

Circumpolar territories and the regions related to the Arctic are those rich with natural resources. They have a high potential for the development of mining and extractive industries. The abundance with resources makes the North increasingly attractive for investments. However, circumpolar territories are characterized by peculiar socio-economic, natural, and climatic conditions which taken together frequently pose a negative impact on people and hinder the exploration opportunities of the Arctic resources. In global, regional, and sub-regional levels, the development of the Arctic is heavily regulated by multilateral international treaties. However, the issues of monitoring and assessment of the sustainable development of the Arctic remain open, which stems from the absence of agreed criteria and indicators for assessing sustainability in the context of national, regional, and scientific approaches. It necessitates the development of a specific methodological approach to the establishment of a system to monitor and assess the sustainable development of the Arctic.

Equilibrium of the grassland yield, livestock carrying capacity, and animal husbandry population is the key factor that influences the ecological environment and sustainable development in pastoral areas. It is of great importance to define the animal husbandry pressure and carrying capacity of an animal husbandry population for grassland management policy-making and the sustainable development of animal husbandry. As one of the areas with the most sensitive and vulnerable ecosystem in China, the Three-River Headwaters Region is an ecological barrier for the environmental security and regional sustainable development of Southeast Asian nations. It is of great significance to define the livestock carrying capacity and population pressure in the area. This research estimates the net primary productivity (NPP) of vegetation in the Three-River Headwaters Region using Carnegie-Ames-Stanford approach (CASA) model, estimates the grass yield on the basis of NPP data, and then estimates the reasonable livestock carrying capacity according to the grass yield. Meanwhile, combined with herdsmen investigation data, it establishes a quantitative relationship between the proper livestock carrying capacity and reasonable animal husbandry population. In addition, the spatial distribution of an overloading animal husbandry population is analyzed through spatial interpolation, which can provide theoretical support for the establishment of scientific ecological immigration policy and the sustainable development of local animal husbandry. The results show that (1) the total grass yield of the grassland in the Three-River Headwaters Region is 13.96 million tons, and the average grass yield is 529.87 kg/hm2, whilst the spatial distribution presents a decreasing trend from the east and southeast to the west and northwest; (2) the reasonable livestock carrying capacity is 14.03 million sheep units (hereinafter referred as “SU”), and the average livestock carrying capacity is 55.14 SU/km2; and (3) the reasonable animal husbandry population carrying capacity is 512,500 people, while the actual amount is 645,300, with 132,800 people beyond the carrying capacity, especially in Xinghai, Tongde, Zekog, Yushu, Nangqen, and Chindu County.

The aim of the study is to identify the advantages and limitations of the system of standards used in modern Russia as threshold values of indicators of threats to the economic security of the banking system. During the study, we developed the conceptual apparatus of the theory of economic security management, determined the composition of risks of the sustainable development of the banking system and analyzed indicators of threats to its functioning. In accordance with the goal, we presented interpretation of the conceptual structures “economic security of the banking system” and “banking security”. We carried out scientific research using the gnoseological potential of the theory of economic security, the theory of credit and banking, and the theory of risk management. To solve the research problems, we used methods of economic grouping, economic comparison (comparison), abstract-logical method, etc. The use of these methods made it possible to present a typology of risks and threats to the economic security of the banking system, as well as to analyze the methodological approach adopted by the banking segment of the Russian economy to determine threshold values of economic security indicators based on the use of standards. These standards are based on the accounting of indicators of capital adequacy level and indicators of return on capital. We formulated the advantages and disadvantages of this approach taking into account the interests of owners, managers and clients of banks and non-bank credit organizations. It is necessary to develop a methodology for determining the level of risks of the sustainable development of the banking system, taking into account the increase in the level of uncertainty of environmental factors. The obtained conclusions are a starting point for further study of indicators of threats to the economic security of the banking system and justification of their thresholds.
