Abstract

Government acts have been formed and the principles of ESG have been enshrined in the national development strategy, however, until quite recently there has been a lack of activity in the practical aspect. In the meantime, the sanctions pressure which began in 2014, compounded by pandemic restrictions and post-pandemic exacerbation, brought about a new way of revitalization for the development of the principles of “Environment”, “Society”, “Governance” - different from the previously accepted one in the global economy. If 10 years ago it really seemed that the world economy should function on the basis of joint production of a single product from components produced in different countries, then at present, especially within the framework of Russian realities, it seems necessary to master the path of “own full-fledged national production”. This for its part requires the creation of theoretical and practical presupposition for the implementation of the concept of “technological sovereignty” which can become the framework for the real introduction of ESG principles into practice. Based on the analysis of the concept of “sovereignty”, its applicability to the technological area of the economy is valid, distinctions from the term “scientific and technical security” are identified, its role in the system of scientific knowledge is determined. The matrix of the evolution of technological sovereignty in the economy is clearly articulated.
