Evaluation of the impact of Alrosa group on the sustainable development of the Sakha republic (Yakutia)

Abstract

The socio-economic situation in the mono-cities of the Arctic zone of theRussian Federationis not favorable for permanent residence, including due to the rather strong dependence of all aspects of the life of the population on the activities of the city-forming enterprise. Therefore, the regional government should have a tool for assessing the impact of the results of the activities of the city-forming enterprise and the sustainable development of the territory. At the same time, it is necessary to assess not only the economic and social effects of the enterprise’s activities (sales, profits, job creation, etc.), but also the impact on the ecological environment at all stages of the production cycle. Thus, the integration of the principles of sustainable development into the management system of a city-forming enterprise on the basis of the developed documents on the development of corporate social responsibility and the assessment of the result from the implementation of the relevant activities is currently a rather topical issue in the Arctic regions. The scope of this article discloses the essence of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The necessity of applying this concept for the territories and enterprises of the Arctic zone of theRussian Federationis substantiated. The methodology for assessing the impact of the company’s activities on sustainable development development is described. The impact of the social and environmental policy of ALROSA Group on the sustainable development of theSakhaRepublic(Yakutia) was assessed.
