To achieve it, systemic and institutional approaches have been used; dialectical, analytical, synthesis and comparative methods; method of generalizations, unity of historical and logical approaches. It was revealed that in Ukraine, the provision of sustainable development is at the stage of formation and standardization in the implementation context of EU legislation. Features of sustainable development reporting for Ukrainian companies included information on the impact of war on their activities and contribution to overcoming social, humanitarian and environmental consequences during the period of 2022.

Implementation of the European principles of accountability, publicity and transparency of business, corporate reporting regulations and social responsibility practices in Ukraine is important for the dissemination of European values in the business environment, realization of the progressive impact of corporate social responsibility on sustainable development of society, strengthening of European integration processes, expansion of the business worldview and integrated thinking. The purpose of the article is to highlight the principles and practices of integrated reporting of socially responsible business in the EU for their implementation in Ukraine. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach, comparative analysis, analogy, synthesis, induction and deduction, and assessment of corporate social responsibility reporting practices and principles. The analysis of key international standards, frameworks, and guidelines allowed us to identify a significant list of principles and requirements for corporate social responsibility disclosure. The difference in the recognition of principles in different regulatory and guiding documents depends on the emphasis, focus and attention to certain aspects of information disclosure. The most common principles in international practice are materiality, completeness, stakeholder engagement, comparability, timeliness, neutrality, clarity, reliability, and consistency. At the same time, other principles that differ in different standards do not contradict but complement each other. Therefore, in practice, European companies are guided by several standards simultaneously when disclosing information on social responsibility and their own initiatives. Due to reporting requirements, European companies are actively implementing the principles of social responsibility. Implementation of the European principles and practices of integrated reporting in Ukraine will ensure transparency, openness of business, increase the level of trust, visibility and market reward for corporate social responsibility.

Today, it is important to create a demand for social responsibility, reporting on the contribution of business to the achievement of sustainable development goals to create jobs, improve communications between government, business and society, address economic, environmental and social issues, and build an economy that works for people. Businesses should report on their corporate social responsibility in countering military aggression and maintaining peace and security. The purpose of the article is to highlight the peculiarities of preparing and publishing corporate social responsibility reports in Ukraine and the EU. The study uses general scientific and special methods: induction, deduc-tion, comparative analysis, synthesis, generalization, grouping, abstraction, and the logical method. Reporting on corporate social responsibility allows demonstrating how a business affects the natural environment and society and what contribution it makes to achieving sustainable development goals. It is established that there is no single standard, guideline or framework for the preparation and presentation of corporate social responsibility reporting; a number of regulatory documents at the international, European, regional and national levels have been adopted to date, but cooperation continues to harmonize existing standards and approaches and promote them among a wide range of users. In order to strengthen European integration, Ukraine needs to establish a national system of regulation, incentives, certification, monitoring and evaluation of corporate social responsibility, verification and verification of corporate social responsibility reporting, and adoption of the best European experience.
