本研究の目的は、ESG統合の文脈におけるカザフスタンの石油・ガス企業の戦略的持続可能性に対する資産構造および利益剰余金の影響を評価することであった。分析は2015年から2024年までの期間を対象とし、JSC KazMunayGasの公式財務諸表に基づいている。方法論には、相関分析、回帰モデリング、ANOVA、および多重共線性診断が含まれた。結果は、長期資産および有形固定資産（PPE）が総資産の変動の97.6%を説明し（R² = 0.976、p < 0.05）、一方、利益剰余金が総資本の変動の71.4%を説明することを示した（R² = 0.714、p = 0.002）。対照的に、流動資産および現金同等物は利益剰余金に対して有意な影響を示さなかった（R² = 0.076、p > 0.5）。3つの仮説はすべて確認された：長期資産およびPPEは総資産を有意に説明し、利益剰余金は資本を有意に説明した。得られた結果は、長期の資本集約的投資および利益の再投資がESG指向の持続可能性の主要な推進要因であることを実証した。対照的に、短期流動性は補助的な役割のみを果たす。これらの知見に基づき、政府の政策は、ESG指標の強制的な報告基準への統合を強化し、持続可能なプロジェクトへの利益剰余金の再投資に対するインセンティブを提供すべきである。企業実務については、カザフスタンの石油・ガス部門を国の持続可能な開発優先事項および国際的なESG基準の両方に整合させるために、長期投資の優先順位付けおよび透明性のあるESG開示が推奨される。

The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of asset structure. It retained earnings on the strategic sustainability of oil and gas companies in Kazakhstan in the context of ESG integration. The analysis covers the period 2015–2024 and is based on the official financial statements of JSC KazMunayGas. The methodology included correlation analysis, regression modelling, ANOVA, and collinearity diagnostics. The results demonstrate that long-term assets and property, plant, and equipment (PPE) explain 97.6% of the variation in total assets (R² = 0.976, p &lt;0.05), while retained earnings account for 71.4% of the variation in total equity (R² = 0.714, p = 0.002). Conversely, current assets and cash equivalents show no significant effect on retained earnings (R² = 0.076, p&gt; 0.5). All three hypotheses were confirmed: long-term assets and PPE significantly explained total assets, and retained earnings significantly explained equity. The obtained results demonstrated that long-term capital-intensive investments and reinvestment of profits constitute the main drivers of ESG-oriented sustainability. In contrast, short-term liquidity plays only a supporting role. Based on these findings, government policy should strengthen the integration of ESG indicators into mandatory reporting standards and provide incentives for reinvestment of retained earnings in sustainable projects. For corporate practice, prioritizing long-term investments and transparent ESG disclosure is recommended to align Kazakhstan’s oil and gas sector with both national sustainable development priorities and international ESG standards.
