construction materials industry, legal regulation, strategy

The construction materials industry is a multi-industrial complex which forms the resource base for the implementation of virtually all regional and local projects. Sustainable development of this industry, like any other industries, is largely dependent on the federal and regional government policies. This article analyzes the current federal strategy of the construction materials industry of Russia. The analysis shows that one of its key shortcomings is the lack of eco-efficiency indicators and forecast of environmental technologies implementation. To improve the strategic programme the following measures are proposed: introduction of environmental performance indicators (9 indicators); increasing the tax rate on limit and above-limit emissions into the atmosphere; implementation of clear system of ecological monitoring by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation.
