Modern conditions fundamentally change the sphere of management by focusing it not only on making a profit, but also on solving social (environmental) tasks. The aim of a new technology of public administration is the adoption of "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs). The seventeen goals approved by the United Nations Organisation are supposed to be extended not only to the public administration system, but also to enterprises. The so-called "Western business", despite the traditional commercial interests, still mostly recognizes the need for transformation and that is why is being reconstructed. This paper assesses the readiness of the Russian business which is relatively young to work in the new environment. We contemplate that nowadays most of the Russian companies do not have such intentions. The paper provides statistics and identifies the factors that cause and prevent the formation of new values. The paper also analyses and describes the initiative of the largest all-Russian association of employers - RSPP (Russian Union of Businessmen and Entrepreneurs) that conducts training seminars, implements sociological research on innovations, and organizes a rating system for companies. We find that no more than 100 Russian enterprises participate in the rating which is less than 1% of the total. However, these enterprises appear to be business leaders in terms of production development and volume. Moreover, we argue that the leading enterprises are also those closely connected with the world market.
