Indicators of Reduction of Metallurgical Enterprises’ Environmental Risks

Summary/Abstract: The place and the role of an environmental risk management in the implementation of the industrial enterprise’s development strategy are researched in the article. The process of environmental risk management in an enterprise with the aim of optimization environmental costs is analyzed. The purpose of the research is to determine the indicators of reduction of metallurgical enterprises’ environmental risks. National approaches to environmental risk assessment are given. It is revealed that the available methods of environmental risk management at metallurgical enterprises do not sufficiently take into account the strategic planning objectives of environmental modernization. The definition of the concept of "environmental risk" in relation to metallurgical enterprises is proposed, its characteristic features are defined. The basic measures to reduce the level of environmental risks of enterprises according to their origin are substantiated. Using the method of theoretical generalization and abstraction, the classification of environmental risk reduction factors is proposed. The importance of environmental risk assessment in strategic planning of industrial enterprises is substantiated by logic-analytical methods. The main requirements for the methodology of environmental risk assessment are formulated, the basic tools for the analysis and management of environmental risks are presented. The main groups of factors of changing approach to economic management within the framework of ecological modernization are identified, which include social, industrial, environmental, institutional and informational groups. The list of indicators of reduction of ecological risks according to groups of factors of the specified process is determined. The procedure of analysis of indicators of reduction of ecological risks with the purpose of optimization of ecological costs of metallurgical enterprise with the development of corresponding practical recommendations on its application is developed. This research creates the basis for further improvement of the methodology of environmental risk assessment of metallurgical enterprises and its implementation in the system of environmental risk management.
