Evaluation of the level of corporate social responsibility of Ukrainian nuclear energy producers

Abstract

The paper considers the role of the development of corporate social responsibility of Ukrainian nuclear energy producers to ensure the effective functioning of this industry. National sustainable development in all social and economic spheres depends heavily on effective employee management where safety plays the main role. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the development of corporate social responsibility in NNEGC “Energoatom” and identify reserves for improving enterprise employee management. To achieve this goal, the method of SPACE analysis has been modified, because this tool is traditionally used as a method of strategic management. A system of 23 indicators has been developed to evaluate the level of corporate social responsibility in NNEGC Energoatom. Four groups of factors were identified, each of them was assessed by a set of relevant indicators. The article covers the activities of the enterprise during 2016-2020. On the basis of mathematical calculations, the SPACE-analysis matrix is constructed and the strategy of corporate social responsibility development is defined. The evaluation of the level of corporate social responsibility in NNEGC Energoatom indicates a high level of CSR. Despite the effective corporate social responsibility policy in NNEGC Energoatom, some problems still exist. The analysis allowed identifying the ways to improve the corporate social responsibility of nuclear energy producers, particularly to ensure a competitive salary, increase the level of occupational safety, improve the internal communication system. The practical value of the analysis lies in the fact that the modified method of SPACE-analysis can be used to evaluate the corporate social responsibility in different types of enterprises with different aims and objectives.

Evaluation of Corporate Social Responsibility and Core Competitiveness Based on GA-SVM Model

“…It can be seen from Table 2 above that the relative errors of the prediction results of the evaluation of the core competitiveness of enterprises using the GA. The SVM model does not exceed 5% and meets the prediction accuracy requirements, therefore, it is effective to select the Gaussian radial basis kernel function (RBF) as the kernel function of the GA-SVM intelligent evaluation model [17]. It should be pointed out that the evaluation result value of core competitiveness is a number between (0, 1), according to the different scores, the core competitiveness is comprehensively evaluated and divided into the following five levels: If the score is between (0.9, 1), the core competitiveness is assessed as Level I, that is, the enterprise performs well and has strong core competitiveness; If the score is within (0.7, 0.9), the core competitiveness is assessed as Level II, that is, the enterprise performs well and its core competitiveness is relatively strong; If the score is between (0.5, 0.7), the core competitiveness is rated as Level III, that is, the enterprise's performance is average, the core competitiveness of the enterprise is also general, and there are areas for improvement; If the score is between (0.3, 0.5), the core competitiveness is assessed as Grade IV, that is, the enterprise performs poorly and its core competitiveness is weak, so it needs to further seek targeted effective measures suitable for the enterprise itself to improve; If the score is between (0, 0.3), the core competitiveness is rated as Grade V, that is, the performance of the enterprise is very poor and the core competitiveness of the enterprise is very weak, it is urgent to solve its own problems and seek various effective ways to improve the core competitiveness of the enterprise [18][19][20].…”

The Relationships among Social, Environmental, Economic CSR Practices and Digitalization in Polish Energy Companies

“…Literature studies conducted for the purposes of this study indicate the diversity of social practices implied in the research. Based on a review of the latest literature [13,[38][39][40][41][50][51][52][53][54][55][56], the most commonly used social practices are:…”

The role of Aggregators in DSM in the context of Business Digitization

“…Aggregator models, on technical aspects could significantly differ, but their objectives are to simplify the participation in demand response of individual users, by measuring their real consumption against their forecasted consumption. A usual practice is to meter consumers' energy consumption that is usually made through a smart meter, whether it is a building or a household (Mahmoudi et al, 2017;Grishnova et al, 2021).…”
