#Sustainable development
Implementing ESG principles and sustainable development strategy in industry. Integrating occupational safety and ecology into a unified business model. Cases on passing global social audits, cutting carbon footprints, and creating ethical working conditions.
The occupational safety specialist: a profession that never loses relevance
The Deputy Head of the Occupational Health and Safety Service at Mosgortrans on a profession that almost always remains behind the scenes: why an occupational health and safety specialist today works not only with documents, but also with people, how "invisible" work affects company risks and expenses, and why the development of technology makes this role more complex, rather than simpler.
Pyrolysis as a Promising Environmental Technology
Implementation of a mobile low-temperature pyrolysis unit for the independent processing of carbon-containing waste (tires, oils, oil-containing waste) at remote construction sites. The technology reduces logistics costs, minimizes emissions (under 0.1 – 0.4 MPC), and yields secondary resources (pyrolysis gas, ash-mineral residue) without requiring a sanitary protection zone.
Science and Business Partnership in Implementing Infrastructure and Applied Science Projects in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra
Integration of scientific research into the business processes of an oil-producing enterprise to ensure environmental safety. Projects on greenhouse gas monitoring in swamp ecosystems, biodiversity research, and the creation of conservation value maps have been implemented.
Biodiversity Conservation as a Sustainable Development Tool for Zarubezhneft JSC
A systematic approach to biodiversity conservation in the company's regions of operation, including background environmental assessments before projects start and biotechnical measures. The program covers monitoring rare species populations using camera traps and cooperating with scientific institutes.
Current Trends, Regulator's Vector, Changes from 2026
Optimization of environmental payments for negative environmental impact (NEI) amid a multiple increase in rates. The practice includes transitioning from standard calculations to actual ones, detailing waste accounting, automating calculations, and strengthening financial discipline in interaction with supervisory authorities.
The Cornerstone of Environmental Investments: Offsetting Costs Against Negative Environmental Impact Fees
The article clarifies the legal mechanism for offsetting expenses on environmental protection measures when calculating payments for negative environmental impact (NVOS). The material considers the conditions for cost deduction through approved Environmental Efficiency Improvement Programs (PPEE) and Environmental Protection Action Plans (PMOOS), as well as the risks of fee recalculation with a coefficient of 100 if the required effect is not achieved. The author points out a legislative restric...
Sustainable Urban Construction
The article highlights the concept of ecological urban design as a rational response to rapid urbanization. The material examines the importance of eco-standards, accessible infrastructure, and urban recreation areas for preserving residents' health and protecting the environment. The practical implementation of such solutions is illustrated by examples of building redevelopment in Berlin and housing construction from recycled materials in Copenhagen.
Manure is Good. But Does Everyone Think So?
Disagreements between supervisory authorities and agricultural producers regarding the status of manure boil down to a single requirement — its use must be safe for nature and business. The article considers an approach to organizing work with manure, including an inventory of the enterprise's capabilities, standardization of the stages of its life cycle, and continuous control. The author shows how documented processes and readiness to demonstrate them to regulators help establish order and res...
Pyrolysis – A Promising Technology in Ecology
Implementation of low-temperature pyrolysis technology for the disposal of carbon-containing waste (tires, oils, oil-containing materials) at remote construction sites. The project enabled on-site waste processing, the production of secondary resources (pyrolysis fuel, gas, ash-mineral residue), and a significant reduction in logistics costs and third-party contractor services.
Environmental Safety Culture as a Powerful Driver for Improving Waste Management and Conscious Environmental Safety
Integrating environmental safety culture principles into the production waste management system. Implementing environmental requirements in procurement documentation, mandatory development of Work Execution Plans (WEP) by contractors with waste generation schedules, and using visual waste management diagrams at workplaces.
Environmental Risk Management at the Design and Operation Stages of Industrial Facilities
A comprehensive system for identifying and managing environmental risks at the design and operation stages of industrial facilities. It includes monitoring regulatory changes, independent ESG risk assessment for investment projects, and regular quality audits of instrumental emission control.
Experience of Interaction Between Yugra State University and Salym Petroleum Development in Implementing Infrastructure and Applied Science Projects
Implementation of applied science climate projects jointly with a university, including greenhouse gas monitoring in peat bogs and the creation of an integral biodiversity map for safe infrastructure design. Implementation of an online equipment energy consumption monitoring system and infrared scanning to find methane leaks in order to reduce the carbon footprint.
