Introduction. The most important task of the sovereign state of Ukraine nowadays is the victory in the war with the Russian aggressor, as well as ensuring sustainable innovation development in close cooperation with the international community. Problem Statement. In countries with economies in transition in the preparation of non-financial reporting we can notice the following : lack of institutional levers of impact and motivation for the disclosure of environmental, social and other indicators; lack of standard approaches to the content of non-financial reporting and procedures for its administration, etc Purpose. The aim of the study is: to substantiate the improvement to Ukraine’s public policy in Ukraine on non-financial reporting on sustainable development; to study contradictions of the new reality and directions to overcome them for the countries with transition economies while preparing non-financial reporting and applying indicators of sustainable development; to develop proposals on the content of such reporting in emergency situations, in particular during hostilities, as well as post-war reconstruction. Materials and methods. The following methods: institutional, systemic, empirical, structural and functional and others have been applied while using UNCTAD guidelines and factual data., Results. The authors suggest ways to overcome these obstacles and to supplement the “Guidance on core indicators for entity reporting on contribution to the implementation of SDGs” (GCI) with a block of indicators on crisis management trends in conditions of uncertainty and post-war overcoming of the effects of destabilization. Conclusions. The martial law in the country, the consequences of hostilities have a profound impact on the activities of companies and should be shown in the reports. On the basis of regulatory initiatives of the European Union on non-financial reporting in the electronic format in Ukraine it is necessary: to regulate the Taxonomy of non-financial reporting (EU Regulation 2020/852); to show in the management report the disclosure of basic performance indicators of enterprises in various fields (economic, environmental, social, institutional); to implement the concept of sustainable development in the national non-financial reporting infrastructure.
The article identifies areas for strengthening the information value of non-financial reporting data, in particular in terms of its fiscal issues. The author substantiates the issues of disclosure of data on the impact of uncertainty on the entities’ activities based on the results of the analysis of scientific publications and generally accepted international documents. It is proved that high-quality non-financial reporting can serve as one of the tools for attracting additional funding for eliminating the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article highlights the results of the analysis of non-financial reporting of state-owned enterprises to identify data on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their activities and compliance with the list of sustainability reporting indicators defined in the document “Guidance on core indicators for entity reporting on contribution towards implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals”, developed by UNCTAD ISAR. The paper substantiates that non-financial reporting data can serves as one of the information sources for decision-making at the state level in terms of avoiding fiscal risks (management report, report on payments to government). The core research methods used in the article: bibliometric analysis; synthesis; observation.
