Subject. The article addresses prospects for using the renewable energy sources, the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the Earth's climate. Objectives. The purpose is to determine relationship between environmental policy of the largest mineral companies in Russia and the principles of sustainable development, enshrined in international agreements. Methods. The study employs methods of comparative analysis. Results. We developed a rating methodology for companies, depending on the degree of their participation in the energy transition. In the process of energy transition, the largest Russian companies pay the most attention to technological improvement of oil and gas processing and production facilities. Conclusions. When designing long-term development strategies, Russian energy companies are increasingly focusing on compliance with the principles of environmental responsibility.
