Prospects for the development of the ESG concept in the agro-industrial complex

The study of the specific characteristics of the ESG concept in general economic conditions, as well as in the conditions of the agro-industrial complex, carries the possibility of identifying promising areas for its practical application. The purpose of the study is to identify the specific nature of the ESG concept, its principles and elements in terms of their place and perspective development guidelines in the agro-industrial complex. The subject of the study is the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. In the course of the study, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and methods of graphical representation of the processed information were applied, which formed the methodological basis of the study. They made it possible to characterize the current trends in the development of the ESG concept in the conditions of the modern agro-industrial complex. The article analyzes current trends in the field of sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex. The principles and elements of the ESG concept are considered, as well as the specifics of ESG financing in the conditions of the agro-industrial complex. The dynamics of ESG bonds is reflected in the context of the global economic system. Ultimately, promising ESG-landmarks of the modern Russian agro-industrial complex are graphically described. It is concluded that the achievement of sustainable development of the modern agro-industrial complex depends on the use of the ESG concept and its principles. The ESG concept, which combines enlarged blocks of elements, predetermines the social, environmental and economic responsibility of agro-industrial complex enterprises, which they must bear in order to achieve sustainable growth and development at the present stage of building "green" economy. The prospects for the development of the ESG concept in the agro-industrial complex depend exactly on the ESG guidelines.
