Abstract
The article proposes a comprehensive methodological approach to analyzing the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by logistics providers within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and demonstrates its practical application through case studies of logistics companies. Based on a synthesis of theoretical foundations regarding corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, the study outlines their interconnection and highlights the role of CSR as a practical tool for implementing sustainable development principles at the enterprise level, specifically within the logistics sector. The findings indicate an uneven distribution of CSR practices across the SDGs, revealing a concentration of logistics providers' efforts on socially-oriented areas related to human capital, employment, and social well-being. The proposed approach can serve as an analytical tool for the preliminary assessment and systematization of CSR practices among logistics providers in the context of the SDGs
