Keywords: forestry industry, sustainable development, modeling, forecasting, environmental protection, innovation

Abstract

Background. The forestry industry is one of the most promising in the structure of the country's economy. For its qualitative transformation, it is necessary to develop and implement development strategies and models at industry enterprises that meet modern requirements. World practice and scientific developments point to the need to adopt the principles of sustainable development. In this regard, the models of functioning of modern timber enterprises should take into account a complex of factors related to the economy, ecology and the social sphere.

Purpose. The analysis of the peculiarities of the development of enterprises of the forest industry in modern conditions and the development of a model of their sustainable development.

Materials and methods. The research is based on the works of domestic and foreign scientists, statistical data on the production activities of Russian timber enterprises, and expert opinions regarding the current opinion on the development of the industry. Data processing was performed using Microsoft Office programs. The prediction was performed using the exponential smoothing method.

Results. As a result of the conducted research, the model of development of a timber industry enterprise. Its key elements are four structures: economic, industrial, environmental and innovative. An important aspect in the development of industry enterprises is the need for sustainable development. Using the exponential smoothing method, predictive models of changes in production indicators of industry enterprises were obtained.  The results obtained are new and can be used from both theoretical and applied points of view.

Conclusion. The study confirmed the hypothesis about the importance of modeling the activities of enterprises in the forestry industry, while focusing on sustainable development will be key to competitiveness in the near future.
