Government Agencies that are Changing the World: Corporate Strategies for Environmental Security

Abstract

The article examines the role of public administration in shaping corporate environmental security strategies under conditions of global environmental transformation. The study proceeds from the assumption that environmental security should be understood not only as an object of state regulation or corporate compliance, but as a systemic sphere of interaction among public institutions, business, financial actors, and society. The purpose of the article is to develop an integrated understanding of how public administration influences the formation and implementation of corporate environmental security strategies through regulatory, economic, and motivational instruments. The research is based on a qualitative and analytical methodology that combines literature review, problem-oriented analysis, comparative assessment of international practices, and conceptual synthesis. The study identifies the key barriers that hinder the ecological transformation of business, including weak alignment between state environmental priorities and corporate strategies, insufficient incentives for green innovation, fragmented regulation, limited access to green financing, and disparities in environmental standards across countries. It is substantiated that the most effective environmental governance systems are those that combine legal requirements, financial support, and reputational incentives within a coherent institutional framework. The comparative analysis shows that the European Union represents a regulator-oriented model, the United States reflects a market-oriented model, and selected Asian countries demonstrate hybrid approaches to environmental governance. The article concludes that public administration plays a decisive role in creating the institutional conditions under which environmental priorities become strategically relevant for business. It is argued that public administration and corporate environmental security strategies should be interpreted as elements of a single environmental transformation mechanism. The practical significance of the study lies in substantiating the need for integrated governance approaches, especially for countries undergoing structural transformation and post-crisis recovery.
