Abstract

The article is devoted to the topical issue of innovations in the system of sustainable development project management, taking into account the updated requirements for ESG reporting. The purpose of this study is to identify opportunities to improve the operational efficiency of Ukrainian mining and metals companies through the prism of mandatory integration of environmental, social and governance factors – known as ESG – into their operations and development strategy, taking into account the updated requirements for ESG reporting. The article discusses in detail the main changes in ESG reporting for enterprises. The features of implementing sustainable development investment projects are presented, taking into account the updated requirements for ESG reporting. The key challenges faced by Ukrainian mining and metals companies are identified. Specific steps and content of work on the initiation, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of sustainable development projects are proposed, taking into account the specifics of the internal and external business environment, existing constraints and prospects for the development of Ukrainian mining and metals companies. The findings of the study may be useful for project managers and researchers working on projects to ensure operational efficiency, sustainable development, and business competitiveness, particularly in the mining and metals industry.
