The content of the «ESG agenda» and sustainable development

The author describes the concept of sustainable development: socio-economic progress does not violate its natural basis. A situation has been modeled that forces us to focus not only on the environmental aspect. The author notes that in the scientific literature, the concept of sustainable development is considered vague, and the ESG agenda is specific and measurable. The criteria of the ESG agenda (environmental, social and managerial) are analyzed, and examples of how they are implemented by companies are given. The methods of evaluating the implementation of the specified agenda by the company are disclosed.
