ESG-transformation is about ensuring a course towards compliance with environmental and social priorities, as well as the principles of governance transparency. The introduction of ESG principles and digitalization has become key business development trends in the last decade, as they may help to achieve sustainable development goals at the highest level of economic efficiency. In the last 6 years, the E component (the environment) has become particularly relevant due to the aggravation of the climate, waste management, and resource conservation. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the focus to the S component due to increased attention to health and social stability. Digital technologies are able to ensure the effective achievement of sustainable development goals, however, not all companies use the benefits of digital transformation equally, and many enterprises are still focused on maximizing short-term profits without taking into account the interests of future generations. This study highlights issues related to the impact of digital transformation on the activities of Russian and international IT companies in the field of sustainable development, and also assesses the level of digital technologies use in achieving sustainable development goals, as well as the company's digital transformation management system in conjunction with sustainable development.
