In the article the authors prove the relevance of developing environmental responsibility management in the context of social responsibility of scientific institutions in Russia. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that till today the experience and problems of introducing relevant activities in scientific institutions of the Russian Federation have not been properly studied. A complex of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and specific scientific research methods (comparative analysis, content analysis and in-depth interview) were used in the work. The following results were obtained: it was revealed that in practical activities scientific institutions create a certain burden on the natural environment and their functioning creates specific environmental risks. The authors consider the experience of managing environmental responsibility of 98 scientific institutions in Russia based on website materials. It was established that, on the one hand, most scientific institutions publish materials that in one way or another show a responsible attitude towards environmental problems, including taking into account the real and potential harm caused in the process of research activities. On the other hand, the specific formulation of environmental policy of a scientific institution is still an extremely rare phenomenon. Taking into account the best Russian and international experience, the authors propose the foundations of a systematic approach to establishing environmental responsibility management in Russian scientific institutions, aimed at comprehensively improving the efficiency of social management. In the conclusion it is stated that environmental responsibility, combined with the effectiveness of social management of a scientific institution, is an important aspect of sustainable development and insurance of favorable environment. The introduction of a systematic approach to managing environmental responsibility in scientific institutions allows us to achieve the following results: preservation of the environment; improvement of the scientific institutions’ social image; improvement of the quality and effectiveness of scientific research; improvement of social interaction with the public and the stakeholders.
