Roman Prigoda

Roman completed the AcademX research program under the guidance of experts in sustainable development economics and corporate strategy. We helped him formulate his research problem, gather theoretical data, and prepare a paper that meets international academic standards.

Roman examined how major corporations implement ESG initiatives — from environmental programs and emissions reduction to corporate governance and social responsibility.

In his research, he analyzed international ESG ratings (including MSCI), decarbonization practices, renewable energy development, reporting methodologies, and key differences between international and Russian companies.

The work demonstrated that ESG has become a critical factor in sustainable development — influencing investment decisions, financial strategies, and long-term company valuation.
