The paper emphases the results of research on estimation of corporate sustainability of Ukrainian business that are directly related to targets of the Glasgow Climate Pact 2021. The data were collected with a cross-sectional random sampling of industrial enterprises in Ukraine. The variety of research methods (e.g. abstract-logical method; economic and statistical methods; survey, method of expert assessments; correlation-regression, graphical methods) allowed to propose the adopted methodology for estimation of corporate sustainability. Integrated sustainability index was found to define the level of corporate sustainability as well as a direction for company further development. The research results offer practical implementation for firms’ sustainable development strategy as far as they are operating with strategic gaps and sustainability values while maintaining high market performance.
