Abstract: In the context of the structural restructuring of global economic relations, the strategic diversification of Russian exports requires winning a stable position in dynamic markets, where ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) factors are evolving from voluntary norms into imperative requirements and turning from recommendatory principles into mandatory conditions for market access. The Persian Gulf countries, implementing large-scale modernization within the framework of national strategies (Saudi Vision 2030, UAE Net Zero 2050), are a clear example of the formation of a new quality of demand driven by the principles of sustainable development. This study offers a comprehensive scientific and practical approach aimed at overcoming the key contradiction between the traditional parameters of the competitiveness of Russian exports and the imperative of compliance with the rapidly tightening ESG standards of the region. The paper solves three interrelated problems: 1) conducting a comparative analysis of the ESG requirements of the Persian Gulf countries with the construction of a hierarchical model of regulatory impact; 2) development of a multi-level diagnostic tool for assessing ESG compliance with a focus on operational maturity, the carbon footprint of value chains, and market specifics; 3) formulation of recommendations for creating a system for verifying and mutually recognizing ESG data to minimize transaction costs. The result is an integrated adaptation roadmap that transforms ESG compliance from a cost item into a source of long-term competitive advantage for Russian exports in the Persian Gulf markets.
