The article is aimed at substantiating the feasibility of forming a specialized investment fund (buffer) in enterprises engaged in foreign economic activities, allocating the directions of its creation and ways of using it from a view of sustainable development in the context of energy and resource saving. It is specified that the course towards ensuring the sustainable development of each enterprise, production, organization constitutes a tendency that is irreversible and adequate to modern realities. The need to re-equipe production facilities or to build new capacities based on the postulates of sustainable development requires financial injections that enterprise often cannot afford, having no sufficient volume of revolving resources, seeking bank credits or investors, which reduce the economic effect of the chosen course and makes the enterprise dependent on external creditors. Prospect for further research in this direction is the creation of specialized investment buffers in the form of a separate account in the enterprises, which will become the instrument that will assist ensuring the financial independence of company in terms of energy and resource saving; will be a powerful anti-crisis mechanism for ensuring financial sustainability in the face of a volatile economic climate and, at the same time, an impetus for the qualitative development of entrepreneurship for the benefit of the country and society.
