В современных условиях нарастающего давления экологических рисков и ресурсной ограниченности становится критически важно интегрировать принципы экологической устойчивости в производственные процессы региональных хозяйственных комплексов. Новая инновационная парадигма, ориентированная на экологизацию, призвана обеспечить баланс между экономическим ростом и сохранением природного капитала. Цель исследования – оценить влияние экологизации производственных процессов на устойчивость региональных хозяйственных комплексов, определить основные механизмы и драйверы «зеленой» трансформации, а также выявить потенциальные барьеры и факторы поддержки внедрения «зеленых» технологий на различных уровнях управления. Исследование выполнено на материале четырех региональных хозяйственных комплексов с различным уровнем индустриализации и инвестиций в экологические проекты. Использовались методы анализа статистических показателей, мультикритериального индексирования, корреляционно-регрессионного моделирования и экспертного опроса ключевых стейкхолдеров. Разработан интегральный показатель «зеленой устойчивости», учитывающий эффективность ресурсопотребления, уровень эмиссии загрязняющих веществ, степень внедрения инновационных экологических технологий и экономическую отдачу от «зеленых» инвестиций. Анализ данных проводился с применением программных средств SPSS и R, что обеспечило точность и воспроизводимость результатов. Результаты исследования показали, что экологизация производственных процессов ведет к снижению энерго- и материалоемкости производства на 12-18%, сокращению выбросов парниковых газов на 15-22% и повышению уровня использования возобновляемых ресурсов до 25%. Интегральный показатель «зеленой устойчивости» продемонстрировал значимое положительное влияние на экономические и социальные параметры региональных комплексов: отмечено увеличение ВРП на 3-5% и создание дополнительно до 8% рабочих мест в «зеленом» секторе. Выявлены ключевые драйверы успешной трансформации: государственные субсидии, научно-технологическое сотрудничество и повышение квалификации кадров. Полученные данные свидетельствуют о высоком потенциале экологизации как фактора повышения устойчивости и конкурентоспособности региональных хозяйственных комплексов. Результаты подтверждают необходимость комплексной государственной и частной поддержки «зеленых» инноваций, включая финансовые инструменты, стимулирование НИОКР и создание кластерных экосистем. Ограничения исследования связаны с узким временным интервалом наблюдений и фокусом на избранных регионах; дальнейшие исследования могут расширить географию, учесть социально-культурные аспекты и проанализировать долгосрочные последствия внедрения экологических технологий. Практические рекомендации включают разработку добровольных экологических стандартов, формирование «зеленых» финансовых рынков и укрепление межрегионального сотрудничества для обмена опытом.
In modern conditions of increasing pressure of environmental risks and resource constraints, it is becoming critically important to integrate the principles of environmental sustainability into the production processes of regional economic complexes. The new innovative paradigm, focused on greening, is designed to ensure a balance between economic growth and the preservation of natural capital. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of greening of production processes on the sustainability of regional economic complexes, identify the main mechanisms and drivers of "green" transformation, as well as identify potential barriers and factors supporting the introduction of "green" technologies at various levels of management. The study is based on the material of four regional economic complexes with different levels of industrialization and investments in environmental projects. Methods of statistical indicators analysis, multicriteria indexing, correlation and regression modeling and expert survey of key stakeholders were used. An integral indicator of "green sustainability" has been developed, taking into account the efficiency of resource consumption, the level of pollutant emissions, the degree of implementation of innovative environmental technologies and the economic return on "green" investments. The data analysis was carried out using SPSS and R software tools, which ensured the accuracy and reproducibility of the results. The results of the study showed that the greening of production processes leads to a reduction in energy and material consumption of production by 12-18%, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 15-22% and an increase in the use of renewable resources up to 25%. The integral indicator of "green sustainability" demonstrated a significant positive impact on the economic and social parameters of regional complexes: there was an increase in GRP by 3-5% and the creation of up to 8% additional jobs in the "green" sector. The key drivers of successful transformation have been identified: government subsidies, scientific and technological cooperation, and professional development. The data obtained indicate the high potential of greening as a factor in increasing the sustainability and competitiveness of regional economic complexes. The results confirm the need for comprehensive public and private support for "green" innovations, including financial instruments, stimulating R&D and creating cluster ecosystems. The limitations of the study are related to the narrow time interval of observations and the focus on selected regions; further research may expand the geography, take into account socio-cultural aspects and analyze the long-term consequences of the introduction of environmental technologies. Practical recommendations include the development of voluntary environmental standards, the formation of "green" financial markets and the strengthening of interregional cooperation for the exchange of experience.
