The conducted research is an analysis of the transformation of management science as a result of the introduction of the concept of sustainable development and ESG principles into the corporate management environment. In the course of the work, the evolutionary development of corporate management concepts and their adaptation to modern requirements of the concept of sustainable development of corporations is investigated, key approaches to the implementation of ESG factors in the operational activities and strategic planning of organizations are studied. The article provides a retrospective analysis of the evolution of scientific ideas about business social responsibility and stakeholder management models, and systematizes modern approaches to integrating ESG factors into the corporate governance system. Special attention is paid to the analysis of drivers and barriers to the implementation of the principles of responsible investment and non-financial reporting in the practice of Russian companies.
