Formation of the criterial code of sustainable transport enterprise development

Abstract

In the modern world, the integration of the principles of sustainable development is becoming an essential condition for the successful operation of transport enterprises. Various business models, means, and tools are constantly being developed for this. However, a natural question arises related to the assessment of sustainable development, based on which the results obtained could be clearly and most usefully interpreted. The article proposes a methodology that allows one to assess not only the constituent components of sustainable development but also according to three criteria, forming a certain code. The criterion of reliability reflects the finding of indicators of sustainable development within safe boundaries, the criterion of dynamism determines positive trends in their change, and the criterion of acceptability finds violations in the rate of change. The results of applying the methodology at transport enterprises made it possible to identify their strengths and weaknesses for all components and criteria. It was found that the highest level of sustainability is characteristic of the economic and social components of sustainable development, although not by all criteria. The most problematic for all components is the criterion of acceptability of changes. The results obtained prove the practical significance of the formation of the criterial code, since it maximally reflects the real picture of the activities of transport enterprises from the standpoint of sustainable development. In addition, thanks to the application of this methodology, a further direction of research has been identified, associated with the assessment of the balance of the sustainable development components.
