Responsible business conduct as a basis for sustainable development of Russian companies

The global trend of responsible investment largely shapes the long-term development trajectory of businesses and reflects societal sentiments. Countries are increasingly focusing on setting objectives for achieving sustainable development goals and refining the tools that measure the outcomes of such efforts. The business community demonstrates strong engagement in regional development through its projects, while governments are willing to support responsible businesses. The EPS-rating serves as a practical tool for advancing sustainable development goals, considering national priorities and values. This rating enables a comprehensive assessment of the "health" of business entities, determining their level of reliability, as well as social and environmental responsibility.
