THE ROLE OF PROCESS MINING IN PROCESS TRANSFORMATION AND ESG INTEGRATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN ENTERPRISES

Abstract

This article examines the transformative role of Process Mining and digital process management in the context of integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria into the operations of Ukrainian enterprises. The research addresses the growing necessity for organizational transparency, efficiency, and predictability as global requirements for sustainable development and standardized ESG reporting intensify. The primary objective is to substantiate the strategic importance of Process Mining as a tool for ensuring the consistency and sustainability of modern business models.
The study analyzes contemporary scientific approaches to digital transformation and the integration of ESG indicators throughout the product life cycle. It is demonstrated that the combination of process-oriented management, advanced data analytics, and digital platforms significantly increases the accuracy of ESG data collection, optimizes operational decision-making, and strengthens the competitive position of companies in international markets. Furthermore, the research investigates how Process Mining facilitates the discovery of real business processes, allowing for the identification of inefficiencies that hinder sustainable growth.
The results indicate that embedding ESG principles directly into automated business processes enhances organizational resilience and fosters long-term institutional stability. By improving reputational standing and ensuring compliance with international disclosure standards, Ukrainian enterprises can better navigate the challenges of post-war recovery and European integration. Ultimately, the study concludes that Process Mining serves as a vital bridge between operational excellence and the achievement of strategic sustainability goals, providing a data-driven foundation for ethical and efficient corporate governance.
