ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS OF THE FOREST INDUSTRY

Abstract

Efficiency is a guideline for the development of an enterprise, evidence of maintaining a dominant position in the market, and the correct use of its competitive advantages and resources. Therefore, the issue of enterprise performance management plays an important role in the formation of economic processes. For forestry enterprises that use exhaustive natural resources in their production activities, the issue of improving economic efficiency is acute. First of all the issue of efficient use of forest resources and measures that increase their ecological and economic efficiency is of great ecological importance.

The article examines the scientific and theoretical basis of the efficiency of enterprises.  Based on the processed sources, the term ecological and economic efficiency of business entities' activities is expanded, which is the result of effective management decisions aimed at maintaining a balance between economic and environmental indicators of production activity, taking into account the impact on the environment in future periods of production cycles and the cost of environmental measures according to the company's development strategy.

The issues of economic and environmental efficiency of environmental protection measures of the forest industry aimed at maintaining a balance between the economic impact of production processes and environmental damage are considered. The nature protection costs of the forest industry are studied and their ecological and economic efficiency in future periods is determined. It is proved that to ensure effective management of the forest industry it is important to study methods for assessing the effectiveness of environmental protection measures of forestry enterprises, develop regulatory and methodological calculations of environmental losses and anthropogenic impact on the environment. 

The principles of environmental efficiency are studied, which consist in the desire to make a profit, but at the same time reduce the impact on the environment and reduce the use of natural resources, thereby increasing the profitability of the forest industry.
