Досліджено проблему енергетичної залежності України. Проаналізовано заходи щодо забезпечення енергетичної безпеки країни та ресурсозбереження шляхом розвитку відновлюваних джерел енергії, а саме використання біодизеля, отриманого з біомаси (різного роду відходів). Ключові слова: енергозбереження, альтернативні джерела енергії, біодизель, рідке пальне, забезпечення енергетичної безпеки. Исследована проблема энергетической зависимости Украины. Проанализированы меры по обеспечению энергетической безопасности страны и ресурсосбережения путем развития возобновляемых источников энергии, а именно использование биодизеля, полученного из биомассы (разного рода отходов). Ключевые слова: энергосбережение, альтернативные источники энергии, биодизель, жидкое топливо, обеспечения энергетической безопасности. In this article the problem of Ukraine's energy dependence was investigated. The measures of energy security ensuring and resource saving through the development of renewable energy sources, such as biodiesel derived from biomass (various waste) were analyzed.

Round table discussion is as part of the international project 101085435 EUGDProSED ERASMUSJMO-2022-HEI-TCH-RSCH «The European Green Deal as a prospect of sustainable economic development» within the Erasmus+ Programme “Jean Monnet Actions in the field of Higher Education” for 2021-2027

The article is aimed at studying environmental responsibility of multinational enterprises in electronics and IT sectors. The main aspects of environmental policy of global business enterprises have been systematized, their characteristics for such high-tech market leaders as Alphabet Inc, IBM and Intel Corporation have been given. Corporate policies have been analyzed and compared in three aspects of environmental activity of the companies selected for this study: waste recycling, energy use and environmental impact. The results of the analysis of eco-responsible companies’ practices show that each company forms management style and tools by implementing environmental responsibility, but none of them has managed to hold higher positions in the ranking of business environmental responsibility. Reserves for activating eco-oriented companies’ policy in IT sector have been identified.

Today, there is a high level of competition in the market of pharmaceutical companies, so in order to strengthen its market position; it is advisable for pharmaceutical companies to implement a cluster approach. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features of the creation of pharmaceutical clusters on the basis of existing pharmaceutical companies engaged in foreign economic activity, in order to strengthen their position in the Ukrainian market. The methodological basis of this work is the integrated application of various methods of scientific knowledge. Among the general scientific methods, the authors used analysis (used to determine the main factors influencing the formation of pharmaceutical clusters in Ukraine), induction (obtaining general conclusions on the management of pharmaceutical clusters), generalization and structural-functional (to determine the main ancillary activities and their percentage), experiment (to calculate the feasibility of using a cluster approach in the management of the pharmaceutical cluster). In addition to these, the authors used a special method – formal-logical (to identify the reasons for the use of a set of certain activities). The article analyzes the main conditions and factors necessary for the formation of pharmaceutical clusters in the Ukrainian market. The authors analyzed the ancillary activities of Ukrainian pharmaceutical companies engaged in foreign economic activity. This paper shows the most common combinations of activities of Ukrainian pharmaceutical companies engaged in foreign economic activity. This study economically justifies the creation of a pharmaceutical cluster, using the ancillary activities of pharmaceutical companies. The authors confirm that the formation of a pharmaceutical cluster in Ukraine requires a developed infrastructure near the enterprise, the availability of resources and capacity, as well as qualified personnel who can be involved from any area. The analysis of two auxiliary activities proved the possibility of creating a pharmaceutical cluster based on them and allowed to identify the advantages. Based on the analysis of the activity and economic justification, the authors found that the creation of a pharmaceutical cluster strengthens the position of companies in the market. The achieved results can be used by pharmaceutical enterprises of Ukraine engaged in foreign economic activity to strengthen their position in the Ukrainian market. The difference is that the authors provide a logical explanation for combining certain activities of enterprises to create a pharmaceutical cluster. The limitations of this study are the analysis of ancillary activities of 200 pharmaceutical companies, with a similar analysis of more companies, the results may change. This paper opens up opportunities for future research in the implementation of the cluster approach in other industries.
