Methods: the research was carried out by means of a set of methods of scientific cognition, namely, analysis (the analysis of concepts, identification of their signs, traits) and synthesis (the generalization of debatable conclusions, contrasted definitions), the method of analogies, bywhich the characteristics of the studied theses and definitions were projected onto legal relations. The preparation of the paper required the use of special legal research methods, such as formal legal and comparative legal. Results: ESG as a new trend and category is correlated in content with the sustainable development goals. The principles of ESG and sustainable development are implemented in Russia taking into account the local peculiarities.
