Subject. This article discusses the relationship between the public-private partnership development and ESG in the subjects of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to determine the interrelation between the level of development of public-private partnership in the subject of the Russian Federation and the ESG rating of this subject. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of analysis. Results. The article identifies the particularities of the development of public-private partnerships and ESG in Russia, presents a correlation matrix for ESG rating indicators calculated by the National Rating Agency, and for the rating indicators of regions in terms of the development level of public-private partnerships based on the Rosstat data. Conclusions. The found moderate correlation between the two ratings, given the assumptions made, supports the hypothesis that the implementation of public-private partnership projects, which by their nature align with the principles of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, can improve the position of a Russian federal subject in the ESG ranking.
