National ESG Alliance
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, retail, pharmaceuticals and others.
Strategic goals
In 2025, the Alliance revised its strategic priorities, building on the reputational and intangible capital accumulated during its first three years of operation. The goals of the Strategy were updated for the next three-year period.
The new strategic vision reflects the needs and expectations of both the Alliance’s founding members and external stakeholders — including federal executive authorities, regulators, and participants of the national ESG ecosystem:
