Achieving the sustainable development goals amid e-commerce further spread in the Russian Federation

Achieving the sustainable development goals is the task of all states, both developed and developing ones. At the same time, almost all countries are switching to a digital economy. E-commerce is the core of the digital economy. It can have both positive and negative effects on achieving these goals. The maximum positive effect can be achieved with the interest of Internet companies and consumers themselves. The results of the study showed the need to increase the awareness of online shoppers about the impact of their behavior on the Internet on the achievement of sustainable development goals. Leading Internet companies are implementing sustainable development goals in their activities, related both to the environmental component and to the elimination of any kind of inequality and discrimination. The possible policy directions of e-commerce companies for maximum contribution to the achievement of sustainable development goals are identified. The results of the study may be of interest to students, postgraduates, researchers engaged in e-commerce research and sustainable development issues, as well as representatives of Internet companies.
