Abstract

Responsible (sustainable) development has been declared at various levels for a long time. One of the first documents was World Scientists'' Warning to Humanity, a document signed in 1992 by more than 1,700 scientists, including most of the Nobel laureates [1]. The essence of this document is a warning about the conflict of the current state of anthropogenic load on nature, and about the need for a global revision of the «governance of the Earth» — reducing the load on the ozone layer, controlling population growth, depleting natural resources can negatively affect the prospects for life on the planet [2]. These «Warnings» were reissued in 2017 and 2019, where scientists focused on environmental issues, including greenhouse gas emissions, the climate crisis, and so on. Then these issues moved to the global level and today companies are forced to take them into account in their corporate strategies.
