. Features of financing activities for environmental protection at industrial enterprises of the Azov Sea Region

Abstract

The paper analyzes the main manifestations of the negative impact of coal mining companies on the environment and the ecological situation, namely: pollution and violation of the hydrological regime of underground and surface waters; pollution of the air basin by solid and gaseous substances in the processes of extraction, transportation, enrichment and processing of coal; contamination of the earth's surface with waste mining and enrichment of coal; extraction from land use and violation of the earth's surface; noise pollution and vibration of soils. The conducted studies revealed a lack of financing of environmental protection measures due to lack of funds, therefore, during the analyzed period, some planned activities were not financed at all, on the other - the financing is lower than planned. The analysis of the structure of the paid environmental tax shows that the largest share in the total amount has a tax on emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. Sustainable development of the company is based on the implementation of the three-pronged concept, which combines three main aspects of activity: economic, social and environmental. The economic component of sustainable development is focused on the desire to maximize the market value of the enterprise and profit, the social component is oriented towards the person and aims at preserving the stability of social and cultural systems; the ecological component must ensure the integrity of biological and physical natural systems and evaluate the environmental damage from production activity. Along with the production of basic products (coal, coal concentrate) a large amount of gaseous, solid and liquid waste (mine methane, breed, tails of enrichment, waste water) is formed. These wastes negatively affect the results of the economic activity of the enterprise, because they require the costs of their collection, transportation, storage, and also complicate the environmental situation in the area of the enterprise.
