The purpose of the study is an analysis of the environmental safety performance at the local level (a coal mining enterprise) and proposals for improvement of the management decision support mechanism aimed at the environmental safety improving. The results of the study of theoretical and applied aspects of environmental safety management process in relation to coal producers are presented, the problems providing for the identification, the selection of the methods for the calculation and estimation of environmental safety indicators have been identified and solved. The basic strategies to ensure environmental safety of the enterprise depending on the existing environmental management system are considered. The analysis of the major ecological and economic indicators of a coal mining enterprise, which characterize the state of its environmental safety, is conducted. The main result of the study is the development of the proposals for improving the management decision-making support mechanism aimed at improvement of environmental safety of the coal enterprises, including technical-technological and business measures. The developed innovative proposals can be used to ensure the environmental safety at various coal mining enterprises.

Import dependence of national economies has reached a critical point in the context of globalization and political sanctions. Russia's import dependence has different levels in different sectors of the economy. One of the highest levels of import dependence in Russia is observed in the automotive industry, where the share of import dependence averages 22%. Specifically, this indicator reaches 15.7% for passenger cars and 29% for trucks. Regarding mining dump trucks, imports increased by 48% from 2017 to 2021. This challenge poses the task of resuming domestic production to reduce import dependence and increase GDP, as well as create new high-tech jobs for the country's citizens. Along with the revival of domestic production of mining trucks, it is becoming a global trend to create and operate heavy vehicle platforms that operate autonomously, using unmanned technology. This creates unprecedented opportunities to solve the problem of environmental pollution by exhaust gasses from internal combustion engines, especially diesel ones.
