The economy of Kazakhstan is the first economy in Central Asia and the second among Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries after Russia. On rates of hydrocarbon raw materials extraction Kazakhstan is included into first ten countries of the world. Kazakhstani economy is based on heavy industry, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and oil and gas. And it allows Kazakhstan is being on the road of economic growth. With economic growth, the energy production and consumption are also increasing rapidly, resulting first of all, on harmful carbon emissions. Thus, the purpose of this research is to carry out a comparative assessment in the energy sector development and to submit forecast of its demand and its environmental impact in terms of Kazakhstani economic growth up to 2040. First scenario (base case) assumes conventional development pattern together with neither significant changes in the patterns of energy supply and demand nor extensively changed policies and measures. The second one (Mitigation) assumes a technological improvement, regulation and industrial development policies and additional policies which have been designed to promote energy efficiency and reduce emissions across the economy. The simulations are applied until the year 2040, while 2015 is set as the base year. The findings suggest in both scenarios Kazakhstan will continue to pursue its economic development driving energy demand and carbon emissions will also raise. However, under Mitigation Scenario, emission intensity will be lower insignificantly.

In the article innovations in banking and foreign experience of digitalization studies. Catalyst of banking activity main factors of development of banking innovations considered as. The study allows us to set the boundaries of the digital banking model, determine the specific features of its activities and banking services to deepen the understanding of the subjects of the banking system of modern features of the development of the banking industry allows. Presented materials identification of the level of development of banking services for orientation and theoretical basis, it may be the digitalization of banking processes in terms of the impact of their activities on the transformation credit organizations and banking systems of countries around the world aimed at improving efficiency promotes coordination.

Purpose of the research. The aim of the study is to study current trends in the development of corporate social responsibility (CSR), to determine its signifi cance and role in the formation and improvement of the competitiveness of industrial enterprises in the context of constantly increasing global competition.   Methodology. To study the problem of social responsibility of industrial enterprises, work was carried out on a review of scientifi c and journalistic literature, analysis of statistical data, which led to the use of such classical research methods as the method of collecting information, empirical and statistical methods.   Originality / value of the research. The application of sustainable measures to develop social responsibility in the practice of managing engineering enterprises is essential to ensure competitive advantages in a strategic perspective. In this regard, the analysis and adaptation of new approaches to CSR management, taking into account modern factors for strengthening the competitive advantages of enterprises and analyzing the interaction of production potential and CSR mechanisms, is a necessary condition for ensuring the competitiveness of mechanical engineering enterprises, which determines the value of this study.   Findings. The article discusses the problems of CSR as a component of the management system for the strategic development of industrial enterprises, shows the role of CSR in the formation of the competitive advantages of large enterprises in a modern market economy. The main problems of the development of the social sphere in the context of increasing competition and increasing social responsibility of domestic industrial enterprises have been identifi ed. It is shown that the development of CSR is one of the most important conditions for the successful development of a model of a socially-oriented market in Kazakhstan, and fully complies with the program for the implementation of anti-crisis measures taken as part of the fi ght against the SARS-COVID-2019 pandemic.
