Abstract: Objective.The study examines the current state of sustainable development in the activities of Russian companies.Tasks.The research objectives include: analyzing the evolution of the definitions of -sustainable development‖; summarizing the current state of sustainable development in Russian companies; studying changes in strategies and implementation tools; examining methodologies used to assess the effectiveness of applied instruments and implemented projects; proposing approaches to build a system for evaluating the effectiveness of applied tools and implemented projects.Methodology.The study analyzed scientific and popular science articles on sustainable development, including those related to Russian companies, publication materials, results of social impact awards, and a survey of Russian companies regarding current sustainable development practices, with a focus on corporate sports and healthy lifestyles.The research also included materials on existing social impact assessment systems.The methodology relied on empirical methods (observation, comparison, data collection and analysis) and synthesis of theoretical and practical materials.Results.It was found that the changing geopolitical environment since 2022 has influenced the focus of sustainable development practices.Objective evaluation is complicated by the withdrawal of many companies from the public sphere.Sustainable development strategies increasingly emphasize social aspects, including regional development.Systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of applied instruments and methods is not yet widespread.The authors propose approaches for introducing a structured assessment system with segmented and variable criteria.Conclusions.The study shows that the sustainable development strategies of several Russian companies have undergone changes under contemporary geopolitical conditions.It is recommended to implement systematic assessment of applied tools to obtain a fuller picture of achieved outcomes and adjust strategies and activities accordingly.
