Abstract

The integration of the UN Sustainable Development Goals into the policy of the Russian Federation is carried out in several directions: firstly, this is the inclusion of goals and objectives in the logic of sustainable development in state strategic and program documents, as well as some indicators reflecting the degree of their achievement; secondly, it is the formation of a system of statistical recording of indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals for the purpose of their monitoring and analysis. Representatives of the Russian business community, both independently and within the framework of membership in unions and business associations, take an active part in the implementation of projects that contribute to sustainable development in all aspects - economic, social, environmental. Large internationalized Russian companies are successfully incorporating the Sustainable Development Goals into their strategies. According to the results of the 2019 PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, 66% of the surveyed members of the Board of Directors of Russian companies believe that the company's overall strategy should be aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The article discusses a set of tools for the practical application of the principles of responsible business conduct, increasing its transparency, introducing advanced standards of business culture (including in the field of employment, creating decent working conditions, increasing labor productivity, etc.) developed by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs ( RSPP). The article also analyzes measures to ensure sustainable economic development in the face of a worsening situation due to the spread of COVID-19 in Russia. Support measures implemented by Russian companies are aimed at preventing the spread of infection, providing assistance to those in need of observation and treatment, as well as reducing the negative economic, financial and social consequences for both company employees and the population.
