Indicators of the welfare state in the civil law of Russia (in the context of the 2020 constitutional amendment)

The article raises the question of the need for some rethinking of the indicators of the welfare state in the civil law of Russia in connection with the proclamation of a new constitutional value of sustainable economic growth and improving the well-being of citizens. The ideological connection between the constitutional amendment and the ESG agenda is shown, and three vectors of this agenda, correlated with the principles of civil law, are outlined. It is concluded that the implementation of sustainable development standards, in which the Russian business community is actively involved, does not lead to the absorption of civil law by business, but means the evolution of the Russian legal order under the influence of the objective needs of the time, erasing the intersectoral boundaries traditionally established by domestic jurisprudence due to the complication, differentiation, specialization and at the same time the integration of regulated social relations. Accordingly, the indicators of the welfare state are modified in terms of strengthening the social responsibility of participants in civil legal relations and the active participation of the state in the implementation of the ESG agenda, which is a necessary prerequisite for sustainable economic growth and improving the well-being of citizens.
