Environmental impact assessment procedure as the implementation of the value approach in environmental projects

Abstract

Strategic planning sets goals in three key areas: goals to maximize value for owners and shareholders, goals to harmonize stakeholder interests, and goals for social and environmental responsibility. In particular, the lack of a high level of environmental awareness is expressed in the insufficient level of attention to the problems of environmental pollution. At the same time, the introduction of value-oriented management is becoming more diverse at all levels of business. The concept of "value" is the basis of a modern understanding of the strategic management of the organization. Sustainability focuses on solving social and environmental problems, as well as creating long-term competitiveness is what distinguishes a modern company. The article considers the approaches to environmental impact assessment available in national and world practice. The presented methodological aspects of impact assessment are based on the definition of three parameters: the spatial scale of the impact; the temporary scale of influence; the intensity of influence. Each of the parameters is evaluated on a certain scale, using the appropriate criteria developed and submitted for each gradation of the scale. This methodology is aimed at generalizing the Ukrainian and international experience in EIA and specifying the evaluation criteria. The developed methodology of impact assessment allows: to assess the impact on the environment under the influence of various sources and determine the significance of the environmental impact. The proposed criteria allow us to draw specific conclusions on the assessment of the impact on each environment, which is a priority in the environmental review.
