Abstract
The theoretical postulates of the theory of sustainable development of regional retail chains were developed. We used the scientific and special research methods: the method of critical analysis, grouping, specification, scientific abstraction, comparison, synthesis and generalization of scientific experience of modern theoretical studies, systematic and comprehensive approaches. The key socio-environmental threats to human development were analyzed. The basic socio-economic and ecological theories were analyzed, which highlight the way out of the ecological crisis and ways to prevent the development of a possible environmental disaster. In light of the territorial and industrial approach to address social and environmental problems of the proposed theoretical postulates, which can form the basis of the theory of sustainable development of regional retail chains, practical implementation at the regional level which will allow the formation of retail chains in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. On the example of the retail industry it was proposed to use regional-sectoral approach in addressing environmental problems. The theoretical postulates of the theory of sustainable development of regional retail chains in the environmental component parts were created. This study will contribute to the understanding that retail should not only step on the path of economy of non-renewable natural resources, but also encourage manufacturers to change the principles of nature management. It can also significantly affect the consumption by the population in regions and determine the image of its life, identifying public trends and adjusting to the environment that would not conflict with the principles of sustainable development, help local governments in developing and implementing programs to address issues such as unsustainable lifestyles, inefficient production and consumption patterns, which currently impede the realization of the principles of sustainable development of the regions.
