The goal of the present article is to study these problems and their impact on corporate governance. Using data of international consulting companies, such as McKinsey, MSCI, Sustainalytics, Bloomberg the authors analyzed problems dealing with ESG strategy realization and arising risks. The key component of the research is a mathematic model of multiple linear regression, which evaluates the quantitative impact of ESG factors on market company capitalization. The results of the analysis are demonstrated, they show the impact of ESG factors on company capitalization and it can explain the vector of their advance into corporate strategies. Provided conclusions have practical importance for business, researchers and regulating bodies wishing to improve integration of ESG practices in conditions of global economic turbulence. The novelty of the research includes the use of regression coefficient to evaluate ESG factors of market capitalization.
