This article provides an in-depth analysis of the concept of social responsibility of international companies
within the framework of Sustainable Development Goals. In the Global economy, sustainability principles are seen as
a key factor in ensuring sustainable development in the economic, social and environmental sectors. In its activities,
international companies are widely introducing the principles of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), not only
improving financial performance, but also taking on social and environmental responsibility. As part of the study,
the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations were analyzed, as well as the experiences of leading
international companies, reports from consulting companies such as Deloitte and McKinsey. And the decisions and
decrees of the president of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted in 2021 and 2022 serve as the legal basis for the
adaptation of national business to international standards and the implementation of strategies aimed at Sustainable
Development. The results of the study showed that companies that have actively introduced the concept of social
responsibility are achieving long-term economic stability, while also playing a leading role in the protection of society
and the environment. For national companies, mastering international experiences and practicing the principles of
sustainable development are important in improving economic competitiveness and ensuring the socio-economic
well-being of society.
