The paper is aimed at determining the relationship between personal and organizational values in an innovative company, and the compliance of the basic elements of the organizational culture of an enterprise to the requirements of its innovative development. The main goal of the study is to determine how to improve personnel activity by changing the organizational culture. To achieve the goal of this study, a survey of employees of an innovative Russian company is conducted in order to determine the compliance of the organizational culture as a whole, as well as its main elements (personal and organizational values), to modern business conditions. The main research methods employed are a questionnaire survey, bibliographic analysis, and content analysis. Barrett’s Cultural Values Assessment methodology is selected and adapted to the conditions of active innovative organizations and enterprises in Russia. Based on the application of Barrett’s Cultural Values Assessment methodology, adapted to the specifics of the given company, an assessment of the existing organizational culture is obtained, inconsistencies between the current and desired organizational culture are identified, and recommendations for changing the organizational culture of the company are formulated. It is concluded that organizational culture is an active resource when managing sustainable development, and is part of organizational innovation. A well-grounded and adequate choice of directions and methods for organizational changes is an important factor in achieving business sustainability. The results of the analysis imply the necessity of changing the existing organizational culture of the given company.

Sustainable development issues are becoming more and more relevant on the agenda of both global community and regional development, which is reflected in the performance indicators of different regions. However, these indicators need macroanalytical tools to substantiate the parameters of socio-economic, ecological-economic, and socio-ecological components in the region’s sustainable development for low-carbon economy. This article examines the socio-ecological and economic system of indicators used at different levels of the economic system, as well as the methodology for selecting and calculating these indicators to assess the level of sustainable development. The purpose of the study is to develop an assessment methodology for socio-ecological and economic consequences of low-carbon economy for the regions. The operational hypothesis of the study was that socio-ecological and economic situation in the region could be improved by designing a methodology for economic assessment of gas emissions and less gas emission during repairs at the linear pipeline section. The latter can be achieved by generating gas from the repaired section with a portable compressor station. The research shows how to develop a system of indicators aimed at assessing the projects’ effectiveness for sustainable development and the economic model of low-carbon economy. The paper describes the methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the impact of project activities on the regional index of sustainable development. The work originates from studies in sustainable development, socio-economic forecasting of regional development and the application of macroeconomic analysis to assess the performance indicators of the development of socio-economic systems. The methods of index estimates were used to construct a comprehensive indicator of sustainable development, and the method of econometric modeling was applied to assess the reliability of the results and forecasting. The methodological significance of the results lies in the development of a methodology for the economic assessment of emission levels. The approach outlined by the authors and its results can be used by scientists and methodologists in forecasting socio-economic development of regions under sustainable development goals.
Risk involves identifying several options that the decision-maker can opt for while making a choice either in the direction of risk or reliability. In this approach, risk is defined as the action of the subject which will lead to the loss or guaranteed safety of what has been achieved. As the uncertainty of the external business environment increases for companies, the task of managing risks both individually and as a set of risks becomes more and more relevant. The purpose of this study is to solve the problem of managing multifactorial risks using mathematical methods for determining the optimal risk management trajectories separately for each factor. To determine the optimal risk management trajectories for each factor, a numerical method is used based on the choice of the most effective direction, which is defined as the ratio of risk change to cost change. An information system prototype has been created that can support the management of a set of risks. Approbation of the information system was carried out on an example containing two conceptual risk factors. The proposed prototype builds a three-dimensional risk map by interpolating the risk matrix entered by the risk manager using an additive–multiplicative aggregation procedure, as well as optimal risk management trajectories for all entered risk factors.
Current trends in the global practice of forming sustainable development goals indicate that striving for innovative development is associated not only with investment activities, but also with tightening of environmental sanctions across the entire vertical of production and sales processes. Leading companies in the Russian oil and gas sector are prominent representatives of the industry and they shape their strategies in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A study of the state of 6 companies of the oil and gas complex, which occupy stable positions in the markets of petroleum products and gas, is conducted in this paper. For the analysis, a methodology was chosen that covers the main directions in achieving the sustainable development goals: investment and innovation in technology, economic, social and environmental development. The materials of annual and consolidated reports on social, environmental and innovative development, the program of socio-economic and environmental development for 2015-2019 served as the information base for the formation of a sample of statistical indicators. The use of the benchmarking method made it possible to rank enterprises, find identity criteria, and evaluate possible strategic actions of oil and gas enterprises in achieving the integrated parameter of the Sustainable Development Index. On the basis of the obtained calculations, it is possible to form action strategies in the direction of "best practices" and adapt the worked out development programs relative to the general trend of achieving sustainable development of the oil and gas complex.
