The article argues that the formation of a system of economic indicators of the social component is a necessary condition not only for ensuring socio-economic security, but also for achieving sustainable development of food industry enterprises.The following groups of indicators are distinguished: the level of income and wages (average monthly salary of employees, average salary, ratio of average salary at the enterprise to average salary in the industry/region, share of labor costs in the structure of product costs, the share of bonuses, allowances and other incentive payments in the total wage fund, the ratio of the minimum and maximum salary at the enterprise, the dynamics of the average salary, the share of employees with a salary below the average for the enterprise, the level of real wages (taking into account inflation), employment and staff stability (average number of employees, staff turnover rate, staff stability rate, level of working time utilization, part-time rate, level of absenteeism and non-attendance for unwarranted reasons, share of employees who have undergone advanced training/training, average length of service of employees, staff replacement rate), social development and motivation (expenses for advanced training and staff training, share of employees who have completed courses/trainings during the year, share of social payments and benefits in the structure of personnel costs, average amount of bonuses and bonuses per employee, share of employees receiving bonuses and allowances, share of employees covered by health insurance/health improvement programs, number of social activities, share of social package expenses in the cost of products, level of employee satisfaction with the company's social policy), working conditions and safety (number of accidents at work, injury frequency rate, injury severity rate, proportion of employees who have undergone occupational safety briefing and training, provision of employees with personal protective equipment, proportion of occupational safety expenses in the total expenses of the enterprise, number of workplaces that meet sanitary and hygienic standards, level of occupational diseases, proportion of employees who have undergone medical examinations, frequency of labor discipline violations related to safety violations). It is substantiated that economic indicators of the social component are an important tool for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of an enterprise in the socio-economic sphere.Their systematic application allows not only to determine the level of socio-economic security, but also to develop effective measures to increase the competitiveness of food industry enterprises.
