The objective and tasks of research of environmental aspects of sustained development of metallurgical enterprises were defined. Method. The objective of research is a scientific substantiation of directions of the improvement of the ecological component of sustained development of metallurgical enterprises based on the implementation of the best available technologies.Domestic and foreign publications in the matters of sustained development, regulatory and recommendation documents, the results of environmental audits form the theoretical and methodological basis of the research. The following methods of the research are applied in the paper: analysis, synthesis, classification, comparison and generalization.Results. Content of environmental aspect of the notion "sustained development of industrial enterprise" is specified. The factors influencing on the environmental aspects of sustained development of metallurgical enterprises are identi-fied and classified. Environmental priorities in the development of domestic industrial enterprises are characterized. Reasonability of application of the best available technologies at the metallurgical enterprises for the purpose of energy usage reduction and reduction in environmental pollution is substantiated. References to regulatory documents of Ukraine including requirements to application of the best available technologies in production are provided.The analysis of results obtained by the authors during conduct of environmental audits as well as presented on the websites of leading domestic plants and enterprises in the context of application of the best available technologies is provided. Practical significance. Recommendations on the improvement of the ecological component of sustained development of metallurgical enterprises are offered. Fulfillment of these recommendations would improve the competitive capacity of enterprises and would enable the compliance of products manufactured by metallurgical industry with the requirements of European and global market.
