These trends can be reflected both in the operating activities of companies and in the way they raise funds in financial markets, as well as in the pricing of financing instruments such as bonds. The subject of the study is the yield of circulating bonds of issuers with a credit rating, as well as ESG risk expressed by the ESG rating assigned to the issuer. The aim of the study is to develop the author’s theoretical and methodological approach to modeling the pricing of bonds and calculating their yield to maturity, which, in addition to generally accepted factors, also takes into account the issuer’s ESG risks. The methodological base of the study includes the analysis and comparison of the yield to maturity of bonds of corporate borrowers against the zero-coupon yield curve of federal loan bonds, ratings of rating agencies regarding the creditworthiness of issuers and their ESG risks. The author uses the total risk premium approach and evaluates the risk premium for investing in the issuer’s bonds as the sum of premiums for certain types of risks. At the same time, the author proposes an author’s modification of this approach in order to take into account the grade of the issuer’s ESG rating in the risk premium of its bonds and, accordingly, their yield to maturity, which is the scientific novelty and relevance of this work. Based on the performed mathematical modeling, the obtained results demonstrate that investors differently evaluate the required yield to maturity for an asset, depending on the grade of the issuing company’s ESG rating. In addition to describing the observed non-linear relationship between the factors that characterize the company, its bond issues and the return required by investors, modeling makes it possible to conclude that in the current realities, the investment idea to invest in Russian companies that follow the concept of sustainable development is conservative. Following sustainable development strategies by a larger number of companies from different industries and regions, together with the development of regulation, will lead to the further development of the green finance market in Russia and the world, and an increase in the coverage of companies by rating agencies. This will provide the author’s approach with development prospects, in particular, the modeling will be enriched with a large amount of input data, it will take into account a larger number of companies and their bond issues, and the possibility of adding new factors to the model will be studied.","PeriodicalId":391677,"journal":{"name":"Issues of Risk Analysis","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114101821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three groups of employees were formed to conduct research. The estimation of mental performance index was done with a correction task according to V. Ya. Anfimov’s Table. The study of the fatigue of intellectual workers was conducted by testing for a simple visual-motor reaction using the computer program “Reaction Time Test”. The calculation of individual occupational risk was carried out according to the methodology of N.F. Izmerova, L.V. Prokopenko, N.I. Simonova, et al., Klin Institute of safety and working conditions.Results. The study of working performance showed that doing introductory gymnastics contributes to improving working performance by the end of the warming up period and maintaining it at a good level before a break for lunch. Doing industrial gymnastics with any set of exercises an hour and a half after the lunch break provides a higher working performance until the end of the working day.The study of employee fatigue confirms that doing introductory gymnastics in the working time does not significantly affect the fatigue of employees by noon. Conducting industrial gymnastics according to the developed complex an hour and a half after the lunch break provides significantly less fatigue (p < 0.05) until the end of the working day. It takes 30 minutes of working time to do a set of industrial gymnastics.Conclusion. Thus, a scientifically based set of industrial gymnastics for office employees has been developed to prevent occupational and work-related diseases. The proposed set of exercises is effective and a set of exercises can be recommended for use. The indicator of the employee’s health status is the only component, influencing which it is possible to manage individual occupational risk.","PeriodicalId":391677,"journal":{"name":"Issues of Risk Analysis","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129157521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods — theoretical, inductive method, analysis of own experience, adopted normative legal acts, other publications. The main results of the work include the following: • despite the broadest use of the concept of “risk” in the field of technogenic safety management, there is no generally accepted interpretation of it to date; • often the evaluative concept of “risk” is mistakenly used instead of objectively existing risk factors; • quantifiably technogenic risk should be characterized by indicators of numerical nature, having vector objects, since two components should be indicated for the complete assignment of the indicator: the probability and the amount of damage; • experience shows that the methods of assessing the probabilistic component of risk indicators recommended by regulatory documents on the analysis and quantification of technogenic risk are accompanied by a very large uncertainty, therefore, instead of the traditional point statement, a more adequate method of assessment is the use of an interval approach that takes into account and allows quantifying this uncertainty; • the analysis showed that the so-called frequency approach, which is most often used to assess the probabilistic component of technogenic risk indicators, is used improperly, has no basis, since, as a rule, the phenomenon of statistical stability is not observed in the object area of the technosphere, there are no general aggregates; • in society and even among specialists, by now there is no understanding of the need to express all three components of damage from an accident (explosion/fire) in monetary terms, without which it is impossible to estimate and express the amount of total damage: — in conclusion, four key problems that hinder the more effective use of the risk-based approach methodology in the field of technogenic safety management are listed; — imperfection of the existing methodological base for the analysis and quantitative assessment of technogenic risk; — the problem of staffing in the field of technogenic risk management; — lack of national criteria for acceptable risk; — complete disregard of the problem of uncertainty of the results of the COR, the lack of methodological support for the procedure of analysis and quantification of this uncertainty.
