In Ukraine, such intentions have been approved, but there are still many companies that do not consider it necessary to be environmentally responsible, as evidenced by the low ranking of Ukraine in terms of the environmental sustainability index and the lack of Ukrainian companies in the Top 10 world companies in terms of environmental performance.
