Approaches to assessing the environmental responsibility of enterprises in the industrial region

Abstract The purpose of the study is the identification and forecasting of socioecological effects from the implementation of environmental responsibility by industrial enterprises at the local level. The development of methodical approaches and practical recommendations for the organizational and economic support of environmental responsibility to improve social tension in the industrial region is explored. The process of the assessment of the level of environmental responsibility of an industrial enterprise is improved based on the factors of its environmental obligation and environmental initiative. It is proposed to assess the level of environmental responsibility of enterprises not only on the basis of widely used coefficients characterizing the level of pollution, but also taking into account the level of environmental initiative of the enterprises under study, which is expressed mainly through social investments.
