Basics of building a risk-management system at mining enterprises

This paper reflects the problematic situation in the field of risk-management at mining enterprises. It is connected with the fact that not all hired top managers understand the role and importance of the risk management system in the overall management system of a mining enterprise. However, an increase in the number and weight of the consequences of the onset of risk events has recently changed the vision of senior management, business owners and other stakeholders in favor of recognizing the need to create in the structure of mining enterprises, if not separate, specialized structural units, in the form of a risk management service, then at least introduction of a staff unit of a specialist - a risk-manager , who clearly understands what the organization is doing to form and increase the value of a business and how he can influence this, demonstrating his professional knowledge, skills, and even some insight in anticipating future risks of a mining enterprise ... But the economic situation in the region, the country and the world does not allow, due to financial constraints, to fully implement the technologies developed in theory and fixed in practice for the application of methods and approaches to risk management in the mining industry, including the purchase of expensive software products that allow the formation of an effective risk-management system. Therefore, mining risk management professionals need to take full advantage of the potential and benefits of the GRC system, which has existed since 2004, which aims to use a common language and corporate risk management methodology to achieve the company's strategic goals. The results of the studies presented in this paper state that the main risks that the owners of mining enterprises are concerned about are financial risks and operational risks, legal risks, commercial risks and the risk of fraud, as well as natural, environmental and man-made risks, but a significant part of mining enterprises in the region does not have a well-developed risk management system, does not carry out systematic work to identify risks, assess risks and their possible consequences, and therefore: either operate at extreme risk, taking catastrophic risk, or work at the margin of profitability, refusing to accept risks, even there, where you really need it. However, one should proceed from their understanding that technologies in the field of corporate governance of mining enterprises, including risk management, can not only form lines of defence against risks, but also increase the value of a mining enterprise through an effective risk-management system

Comfortable living environment as the basis for rural development in the mining region

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of mining industry development and its impact on the development of rural areas in the region. It is revealed that the intensive development of the mining industry is accompanied by negative environmental consequences associated with the impact on socio – economic development and the formation of a comfortable living environment and, as a result, the quality of life of the population of rural areas. The Kemerovo region characterized by a pronounced intensive development of the coal industry accompanied by air pollution, rejection of land with high fertile potential, and degradation of renewable natural resources. The activities of mining companies accompanied by the release of highly toxic and carcinogenic substances into the air. As a result, there is an increased morbidity and mortality of able-bodied residents of the region, a low life expectancy, and a decrease in the total rural population, which is faster than the urban population. To solve the identified problems, the author’s model of creating a comfortable living environment in the mining region proposed. The model makes it possible to assess the attractiveness of the territory when deciding on the future place of residence, and, also allows you to make informed management decisions aimed at improving the quality of life of people
