Abstract

Strategic significance of Krasnoyarsk territory as well as Arctic Norilsk metallurgical cluster cannot be in contradiction with social sustainability of the region, what is especially important in the context of serious environmental pollution of the addressed constituent entity of the Russian Federation.Thus, the issue on the building a system of strategic analysis and management of environmental-economic potential of Arctic Norilsk metallurgical cluster (ANMC) remains relevant. In preparation of the article we used the methods of systems analysis and synthesis of available information related to the research. Building on existing economic theories, a model of the conception under consideration was introduced, the term ‘system of strategic analysis and management of environmental-economic potential of ANMC’ was defined and briefly characterized.The results obtained can be used as a methodological framework for the development of strategic documents on several levels: corporate, regional as well as used by the executive bodies for the purpose of justification of the directions chosen for improving socio-environmental-economic sustainability of Krasnoyarsk territory.
