The National ESG Alliance is the only business association in Russia that deals solely with the sustainable development agenda and unites companies that have already introduced these principles in their business model and are deliberately moving forward with the ESG-transformation. As of today, it includes 22 founding members that are leaders of sustainable transition in their respective sectors: industry, finance, real estate, retail, pharmaceuticals and others.

Strategic goals

Three Strategic Goals lie at the core of the Alliance activities, approved for the period of 2022-2024:

1
To act as a mediator (not a lobbyist) between the business and the state on all regulatory issues that cover sustainable development of business and ESG-transformation.
2
To act as a methodologist and a driver (i.e., to create practical solutions) for ESG-transformation for an ever-growing number of companies, as well as for SMEs, involved in their supply chains.
3
To maintain relations with the international community and build partnerships with “friendly” jurisdictions (BRICS, EAEU, SCO) which are key trading partners of the Russian export-oriented companies.
