                 Abstract
                 Strategic planning sets goals in three key areas: goals to maximize value for owners and
                 shareholders, goals to harmonize stakeholder interests, and goals for social and
                 environmental responsibility. In particular, the lack of a high level of environmental
                 awareness is expressed in the insufficient level of attention to the problems of environmental
                 pollution. At the same time, the introduction of value-oriented management is becoming
                 more diverse at all levels of business. The concept of "value" is the basis of a modern
                 understanding of the strategic management of the organization. Sustainability focuses on
                 solving social and environmental problems, as well as creating long-term competitiveness
                 is what distinguishes a modern company. The article considers the approaches to
                 environmental impact assessment available in national and world practice. The presented
                 methodological aspects of impact assessment are based on the definition of three parameters:
                 the spatial scale of the impact; the temporary scale of influence; the intensity of influence.
                 Each of the parameters is evaluated on a certain scale, using the appropriate criteria
                 developed and submitted for each gradation of the scale. This methodology is aimed at
                 generalizing the Ukrainian and international experience in EIA and specifying the evaluation
                 criteria. The developed methodology of impact assessment allows: to assess the impact on the
                 environment under the influence of various sources and determine the significance of the
                 environmental impact. The proposed criteria allow us to draw specific conclusions on the
                 assessment of the impact on each environment, which is a priority in the environmental
                 review.

1. Introduction
   The value-based approach to company management, which originated in the late twentieth century,
was a response to the demand for building a connection between the goals of the organization and
social goals. The company cannot be viewed outside the context of its social, environmental, and
cultural environment. Value management as a tool for integrating a company into the global social
order is extremely relevant in the modern socio-economic structure. The complexity and
multifactorial nature of the problem, a fundamentally new view of the company management process
in the context of creating social value require a modern company to intensify the search for the
optimal combination of classical tools and the introduction of new management models [1-3].

2. Problem
    In the era of information technology and globalization, companies cannot remain in the old
paradigm, focusing only on cost indicators. Realities demand from companies a different approach to
doing business, which would correlate with the values of the whole society. Companies must be
managed in a way that creates value not only for the owners but for the whole society.
    Heightened attention to environmental issues, social justice, a significant income gap entered the
global social order, going beyond national and regional boundaries. For any company, this means that
the problem of creating value for society must become part of the strategic planning of any company.
    The main areas of business that exist in the concept of sustainable development are 4 key areas
[4-7]:
    1. firms can increase their value by reducing resource consumption and environmental pollution;
    2. increasing the level of transparency and interaction with civil society;
    3. firms can create new technologies and methods of production, reduce the force of human
    impact on the planet;
    4. value creation can be linked to meeting the needs of the world's poorest people and creating a
    system of equitable distribution of wealth. Figure 1 shows the strategy of forming a sustainable
    value.
    The ecological aspect of sustainable development is associated with the impact of a portfolio,
program, and project on living and non-living natural systems: land, air, water, ecosystems, as well as
flora, fauna, and those who inhabit the ecosystem.
    The environment is also where people live, and it can consist of streets, cities, small towns, or
regions.
    The legal framework for environmental protection includes international laws and regulations,
treaties and agreements, conventions, and declarations, as well as other instruments, such as [7]:
    •    UNESCO Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage;
    •    UN Convention on Climate Change;
    State acts and regulations for the preservation of the environment against air pollution, water
bodies, etc., in support of materials that are biodegradable.




Figure 1: The strategy of forming a sustainable value

    The environmental criterion includes elements of sustainability, which can be attributed to the
following subcategories Transport, Energy, Water, Consumption [9] (Table 1).
    From the concepts discussed above, the so-called Triple bottom line concept was formed - the
concept of building a business, according to which entrepreneurs and managers should take into
account not only financial indicators but also the social and environmental performance of the
company. According to the concept, business is built on the “three pillars of sustainable development”
- the planet, people, and profit.
    Strategic planning sets goals in three key areas: goals for maximizing value for owners and
shareholders, goals for harmonizing interests of stakeholders, and goals for social and environmental
responsibility.

    Currently, value management has received insignificant distribution in our reality, both in the
practical field and in the scientific environment. This fact is due to the peculiarities of the structure of
the Ukrainian market and values of social attitudes as such.
    In particular, the lack of a high level of environmental awareness is expressed at an insufficient
level of attention to the problems of environmental pollution. Problems exist both in the field of
legislation and the lack of proper regulation of industrial enterprises and in everyday consciousness.
    At the same time, the implementation of value-based management is becoming more diversified at
all levels of the business [9-11].
    Firstly, recently more and more companies are joining international social reporting standards by
entering international markets or on a voluntary initiative. Conferences and forums dealing with
sustainable development issues are held.
    Secondly, a policy is being implemented to reduce emissions into the atmosphere, and local laws
are adopted that regulate the activities of companies that are hazardous to the environment. The use of
innovative solutions to reduce emissions and other pollution is becoming more and more justified
from the point of view of company management.
    Thirdly, the open market continues to develop and more and more companies become open joint-
stock companies. And as noted earlier, companies' shareholder value activities have a positive impact
on the overall value that the organization creates.
    The concept of "value" is the basis of the modern understanding of the strategic management of an
organization. Sustainability, focus on solving social and environmental problems, and building long-
term competitiveness is what distinguishes a modern company. The main components of value today
are: creating value for stakeholders; the embodiment of the company's mission by decomposing
strategic goals into operational tasks; compliance with the global principles of sustainable
development.
    Application of the methodological tools available in each of the described approaches, which allow
companies to build a value management system and control the process of its creation

3. Model development and use of modelling method
   The aim of the work is to develop a unified integrated method for assessing the impact of project
activities on the environment in the process of implementing a value-based approach. The method is
based on the determination of three parameters of the impact: the spatial scale of the impact; time
scale of impact; intensity of exposure. Each of the parameters is assessed according to a certain scale,
using special criteria. The procedure for assessing the impact on the environment, which is considered
in the work, is determined in accordance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On
Environmental Expertise" [12].
    Consider the methodological approaches to assessing the impact on the environment, considers the
structure, content, and procedure of "Assessment of the impact of the planned activity on the
environment" in a standard situation.
    The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) section is a necessary component of a full
environmental assessment. Assessment of the impact of the planned activity on the environment is
carried out using available materials and statistical data provided by the territorial departments of the
Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, as well as various scientific and research
organizations.




Figure 2: Generalized scheme of environmental impact

   Assessment of potential environmental impacts resulting from the implementation of the project is
an important stage in the EIA process. The purpose of the assessment is to determine the
environmental changes that may arise as a result of the proposed activity and to assess the
significance of these changes (Fig. 2). This assessment is based on the following:
        • technical description of the project;
        • identification of the environmental components affected;
        • experience gained from other projects.
   Impact assessment is carried out for individual components of the natural environment.
   In the practice of performing a conventional EIA, as the most important ecosystems and
components of the natural environment, the impact on:
        • soil and bowels;
        • surface and sea waters;
        • the groundwater;
        • marine sediments;
        • air quality;
        • biological resources;
        • landscapes and visual impact;
        • physical factors of influence (noise and electromagnetic influence, vibration, etc.).
   Basically, the measures taken to mitigate the impact are established during project development in
accordance with the scale presented in Table 2.

   Prevention at      Prevention or reduction of impacts to its sources presuppose design decisions

                                                "minimization" is also used.

     Weakening            Some impacts lead to inevitable damage to resources. Recovery involves
      outside                        measures to return the resource to its original state.
    Recovery or          If other mitigation measures are not possible or are not effective enough,
     correction           compensation for losses, damages and general intrusion is an acceptable
                        solution. Compensation can be “in-kind”, which is expressed, for example, in
                                       planting new plantings to replace the lost ones.

3.1.    Impact assessment
    The impact study of this EIA covers the mitigation measures already foreseen by the project based
on the work included in the preliminary design. The impact assessment examines the significance of
residual impacts, that is, those impacts that remain after the application of mitigation measures [13-
15].
    The EIA reflects the state of the project based on available preliminary design information. A
detailed design will be undertaken to further detail many of the mitigation activities. However, the
characteristics of the environmental conditions were established during the preliminary design stage.
    For many impacts, the assessment of the significance of the residual impact is based on
characteristics that were previously obtained from existing documents, regulations and reports. This
data is provided to the contractor for detailing and further use as a starting point in the process of
project implementation. This will ensure that mitigation measures applied at least once will cause
impacts that are not environmentally stronger than the impacts foreseen in the EIA.
    The significance or degree of residual impacts in this EIA will not necessarily be the same as those
already described during the project, as further mitigation of impacts will be studied for many impacts
during the detailed design phase. It is expected that the actual actions from the final draft will be no
larger than those already described.

3.2.    Significance criteria
    The significance of residual impacts is assessed based on opportunities for influence and the
consequences of exposure.
    The assessment is based on local, limited, local, and regional impact levels. In assessing impacts,
special attention is paid to local and limited impact levels. Attention is also paid to vulnerable
resources (for example, species listed in the Red Book).
    In most environmental impact assessments, it is difficult to quantify environmental changes. The
proposed methodology is a fluffy assessment based on the so-called "desirability curve" as well as
interval scales [16].
    The significance of anthropogenic disturbances to the natural environment at all levels is assessed
by the following parameters: spatial scale; time scale; intensity.
    Let us examine these parameters using one of Harrington's logistic functions − the so-called
"desirability curve". It is defined by the function: d=exp(-exp(-Y)). This function is deduced by an
empirical method. The construction of the generalized Harrington function is based on the idea of
converting the obtained values of the negative impact (in various units of measurement, including
qualitative and quantitative) into a dimensionless scale of desirability. The specific parameters of the
compared systems are distributed on a scale corresponding to the requirements imposed on them, over
the range of effective values of the scale of private indicators. Here is the Y coordinate called the scale
of private indicators and measured in some conventional balls. The d − desirability scale. The interval
of effective values on the scale of private indicators − [-2; 5]. The desirability scale is divided in the
range from 0 to 1 into five intervals, each of which is determined by experts in a fuzzy expression:
        • [0; 0.2] − "very bad";
        • [0.2; 0.37] − “bad”;
        • [0.37; 0.63] − "satisfactory";
        • [0.63; 0.8] − "good";
        • [0.8; 1] − "very good".
    For the convenience of calculations, let us combine the last two intervals into one and give it a
fuzzy expression [0.63; 1] − "good".
    The choice of marks on the desirability scale − 0.63 and 0.37, is explained by the convenience of
calculations:                                . We will replace the linguistic scale with the opposite one,
proceeding from the condition that the project will be safer for a lesser impact on the environment:
        • [0; 0.2] − "very good";
        • [0.2; 0.37] − "good";
        • [0.37; 0.63] − "satisfactory";
        • [0.63; 1] − "bad"
    Specific parameters are distributed on a scale corresponding to the conditions of standardization,
over the range of effective values of the scale of private indicators. Then the corresponding indicators
on the desirability scale are listed in the value of the domain of the Harrington function (Fig. 3).
    Further, already specific values are listed in numerical marks in the range from -2 to +5 (Fig. 3).
The choice of this interval on the scale of particular indicators is due to the fact that it is at these
points that the values of the desirability scale are already practically close to the limiting ones, but
they can still change significantly depending on the values of the corresponding parameters. This
interval can be called the effective range of practical values of the comparison parameters. In
addition, if from all the values of this parameter of the considered systems "assign" the "worst" mark
"5", and "the best" - "2", then all the rest will be located between them, forming a scalable sequence
of values. Converting them into particular indicators, we obtain the coefficient of desirability for this
parameter.
    For this technique, the interval [1;10]. Compliance intervals determined from the standardization
condition. Comparison of the values of the degree of impact for each parameter is assessed by the
Harrington function according to the developed criteria. Each criterion is based on the practical
experience of specialists and experts obtained in the implementation of similar projects.
    For the natural environment, we will accept a 4-interval scale. This is due to the fact that in
contrast to the social sphere, in any of which the activity will be provided with an impact on the
natural environment [9, 16, 17].
    Zero impact will be present only in the absence of technical activities or impact associated with
natural variability. Therefore, in the future, for a comprehensive assessment of the impact on the
natural environment, a multiplicative (multiplication) calculation methodology is used.

3.3.    Determination of the spatial scale of impact
    Determination of the spatial scale of impacts is carried out on the analysis of technical solutions,
mathematical modeling, or on the basis of expert assessments and are presented in Table 4.
    Local impact − impacts acting on the components of the natural environment, limited by the
territory (water area) of the direct location of the object or slightly exceed it in the area (up to
1 sq.km). (Influence on elementary natural-territorial complexes on land at the level of natural
boundaries).

    Limited influence − influences acting on the components of the natural environment in the territory
(water area) up to 10 sq.km. (Influence of natural-territorial complexes on land at the level of groups
of natural boundaries or terrain).
    Local (territorial) impact − impacts acting on the components of the natural environment in the
territory (water area) until 100 sq.km. (Influence of natural-territorial complexes on land at the
landscape level).
    Regional influence − influences acting on the components of the natural environment on a regional
scale in the territory (water area) for more than 100 sq. km. (Influence of natural-territorial complexes
on land at the level of landscape districts or regions).

3.4.    Determination of the time scale of the impact
The time scale of the impact on individual components of the natural environment is determined on
the basis of technical analysis, analytical (model), or expert assessments, and is presented in Table 5.
   Short Term Impact - Impact observed for a limited period of time (for example, during
construction, drilling, or decommissioning), but usually ceases after completion of the operation,
duration does not exceed one season (3 months allowed).
   The medium-impact is an impact that occurs over a period of one season (3 months) to 1 year.
   Long-term impact - impact, observed for a long period of time (more than 1 year, but less than 3
years) and usually covers the period of construction of the designed object.
   Long-term (permanent) exposure − exposure that has been observed for 3 to 5 years or more (for
example, noise from the operation), and which may be rather periodic or repetitive (for example,
impacts from annual maintenance work). Basically refers to the period when the design capacity is
reached.

3.5.    Determination of the magnitude of the impact intensity
   The intensity scale is determined based on a number of environmental assessments as well as
expert judgment and is discussed in Table 6. The involvement of expert assessments is usually
required in cases where there are no criteria for assessing the intensity of the impact, for example, for
assessing individual emergency situations.

 Strong influence      Changes in the natural environment lead to significant
                       disruptions to components of the natural environment

                       environment lose their ability to heal themselves (this
                       statement does not apply to atmospheric air).

    For the air environment, the criteria were selected based on the experience of calculating
greenhouse gas emissions during the preparation of the EIA.
    For the aquatic environment, hydrodynamic modeling, reference books, expert methods are used.
    The geological environment is considered based on maps of hazardous processes and expert
assessments.
    For groundwater, the criteria are determined on the basis of modeling the spread of pollutants,
expertly, or on the basis of analogs.
    Criteria for soil and land resources are considered on the basis of technical solutions; special
studies or peer review.
    Assessment components required for this project can be summarized in a summary table and
attached to the main project documentation.
    Comprehensive (integral) assessment of the impact on individual components of the natural
environment from various sources of impact
    Impact significance is essentially a complex (integral) assessment. The comprehensive assessment
is a multi-step process. Determining the significance of the impact is carried out in several stages.
    Stage 1. To determine the complex impact on individual components of the natural environment,
use tables with impact criteria (tables 4 -6).
    The complex score is determined by the formula:

                                      Qcomplex=Qit * Qis * Qif                                       (1)
    where:
    Qcomplex − a complex assessment score for the considered impact;
    Qit − point of temporary impact on the i-th component of the natural environment;
    Qis − point of spatial influence on the i-th component of the natural environment;
    Qif − the score of the intensity of impact on the i-th component of the natural environment.
    Stage 2. The category of significance is determined by the range of values depending on the score
obtained when calculating the integrated assessment, as shown in Table 7.
    The significance categories are the same for different components of the natural environment and
may already be comparable to determine the component of the natural environment that will feel the
strongest impacts.
    For the presentation of the results in this EIA, three categories of impact significance are adopted -
minor, moderate, and significant.
    Impact of low significance occurs when the impact is experienced, but the magnitude of the impact
is sufficiently low and within acceptable standards.
    Impacts of moderate significance can have a wide range, ranging from a threshold below which the
impact is low to a level that almost violates the legal limit. Whenever possible, it should be shown
that the impact is of moderate significance.
    Impacts of high significance occur when tolerance limits are exceeded or when large scale impacts
are noted, especially for valuable/sensitive resources.
    Significance categories are defined for the following environmental components:
         • impact on soil and subsoil;
         • impact on the surface, ground, and ground waters;
         • impact on the quality of atmospheric air;
         • influence on various physical processes (flooding, erosion, etc.)
         • impact on biological objects of the sea and land, as well as endangered species;
         • impacts on wildlife, agriculture, and forestry;
         • impacts on landscapes, landscapes, and reserves.

   And also for the assessment of physical factors of influence: noise and electromagnetic influences,
vibration and force fields, and background radiation.
   To obtain a category of impact significance, first, for each environmental component, we
determine the average score of a comprehensive impact assessment (using the example of the project
“Project for the reclamation of lakes in the area of the Odessa-Sortirovochnaya railway station”).
   In this project, the resulting signs can be defined as “low”, since two types of impact received a
low impact significance, one had an average impact, and the complex assessment by the source of
impact “Formation and precipitation of suspensions” was equal to 27.6. The lower limit of the interval
of the average significance of 25100 is equal to 25. When some components change, the estimate
will decrease to a low significance of the influence.
   If the significance of the influence determined for a specific component of the environment
(atmospheric air, wildlife, etc.) is the only one, then it is used directly to assess the resulting
significance of the impact.

   In practice, various impacts of many sources can be provided to one component of the natural
environment, therefore, to determine the significance of the impact, the resulting assessment of the
significance for a specific component of the natural environment is used. Based on the results of the
identified levels of impact significance, the expert can give an integral assessment of the impact on a
specific component of the natural environment. An example of determining the resulting impact
significance and integral assessment is presented in Table 8.

4. Conclusions
   The method developed in this work is aimed at generalizing the Ukrainian and international
experience in EIA and concretizing the criteria for assessing the impact of adverse factors on the
environment. When developing the method, the approaches used by both Ukrainian specialists and
those shown in international normative documents were considered. The combined use of these two
approaches has made it possible to create a new, comprehensive method for assessing the impact of
project activities on any components of the environment. Also, the method allows you to oppose the
significance of the impact, and move on to assessing alternative options for project implementation.
The resulting impact significance values for each component of the environment can be compiled to
obtain the final impact significance value for several options for project implementation.
