Green libraries: ESG principles (environmental – social – governance) and promoting sustainable development ideas through modern libraries

Abstract

Building the single logic of achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) is important for their implementation, and the library educational work contributes to this task. To accomplish it, the libraries have to interact with government and public agencies, mass media, business, etc. The author explores the terms used in planning, discussing and evaluating organizational efforts in ecology. The integrated approach to terminology lays the foundation for the vector of green libraries and green activities to become the new normality for all libraries.
