To analyze and identify trends, mechanisms and problems of ESG-trends impact on the value of the company.Objectives. Systematization of key approaches to consideration of the essence of ESG-paradigm impact on the company's value; identification of prerequisites, advantages and barriers hindering the implementation of ESG-principles in the practice of Russian companies; substantiation of multilevel impact of internal and external environment on the implementation of ESGmechanisms in the context of strategic business development.Methods. In this article the trends and mechanisms of ESG-principles impact on the company's value as an integral indicator reflecting the efficiency of its activity are considered in various aspects using general methods of scientific cognition.Results. In the course of the research the important role of the company's value as an indicator that allows to comprehensively monitor the state of its affairs is shown. The analysis revealed the fact that crises, environmental degradation, the need to optimize corporate governance and the social demands of employees and local communities have become the driving factors for the introduction of ESG in the practice of companies. The author concluded that the application of ESG practices allows optimizing business processes, improving financial indicators and branding system, creating an attractive image for investors, transforming comfortable mechanisms of interaction with stakeholders based on trust, openness and transparency, as well as creating sustainable competitive advantages. The paper substantiates the assertion that the lack of unified standards, significant differences in the industry aspect in the application of ESG-paradigm, insufficient spread of this concept in our country and unformed information support serve as barriers that significantly hinder the introduction of non-financial reporting forms and ESGtools.Conclusions. The conducted research makes it possible to form a four-level model of ESG-trends impact on the company's value. It allows to take into account the factors and trends of each of them, to develop optimal mechanisms of adjustment and adaptation to new realities.","PeriodicalId":513263,"journal":{"name":"Economics and Management","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140260810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three types of potential imbalances were revealed: the lagging behind at the national and regional level of the “Economy (business)” sector from the “Power” and “Society” sectors (sectoral); a part of digital cross-cutting technologies declared for development at the federal level is not reflected in regional documents of the Leningrad Region (technological); threats to digital development, in particular, dangers associated with the legitimacy of obtaining information, the problems of its use for the purposes of interested groups (legality).Conclusions.

The research applied methods of benchmarking, comparative analysis, inductive approach to the formation of the methodological basis of crowdfunding, modeling of the process of implementation of crowdfunding campaign of investment business projects.Results. The methodological foundations of crowdfunding are presented, the functions are described, including the collection of funds, advertising and PR of the product/service produced, scaling of the business, as well as categories, types and features of stakeholder interaction in the process of realization of crowdfunding campaign. The process of realization of an innovative business project on a crowdfunding platform is divided into five stages: MVP of the innovative product, financing of the innovative project, launch of the innovative business project on the crowdfunding digital platform, control over the project realization, launch of the innovative product into production. The analysis of the Russian legislative framework revealed a number of shortcomings in the regulation of investment platforms: lack of clarifications on the regulation of activities with cryptocurrency transactions, the conduct of which is legally permitted; attracting investments is available only to legal entities and private entrepreneurs, which hinders the development of startups and does not provide opportunities for fundraising for the implementation of social projects by individuals.Conclusions. A successful crowdfunding campaign of an innovative business project can be conducted if the conditions and sequence of stages of the process under consideration are met. At the same time, the revision of the legislative base in the field of regulating the activities of investment platforms is of particular importance in the development of this area of the economy.","PeriodicalId":513263,"journal":{"name":"Economics and Management","volume":"4 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139782826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
