In conclusion, Natalia Gladkikh put forth precise recommendations for modifications to be made to the standard. The fundamental point is that all activities conducted within the framework of sustainable development must meet criteria for evidence and validity. Specifically:

1. Issues to be addressed should be distinctly defined and their causes pinpointed, relying on existing data, knowledge from similar endeavors, etc.

2. All implemented programs and projects should describe their target audiences.

3. The action plan should be clearly defined and the relationship between the realized actions and the problems, their causes, as well as the planned results should be obvious, the experience of similar projects, the effectiveness of the chosen approach (social, ecological technology) should be studied.

4. The immediate results, social effects, and social impact should be clearly spelled out for each intervention.

5. The activity planning stage specifies the plan of activities and their results, as well as indicators to conclude on the achievement/ non-achievement of the planned changes.

6. For each project or program implemented within the framework of achieving sustainable development, an evaluation model should be developed, which implies a system of monitoring and evaluation of changes achieved, in accordance with the system of indicators.

7. For each project or program implemented within the framework of achieving sustainable development, it is recommended to calculate an evidence and validity index.

8. The development and implementation of a model for assessing the impact of a sustainable development project/program, reflecting the changes it achieves (achieved), can be carried out by the organization independently or with the involvement of research and other specialized companies, scientific organizations, including those based at research universities.

The recommendations provided are not confined to a specific federal document under development; rather, they are meant to be immediately applicable in real-time across any corporation. This does not, however, diminish their relevance for inclusion in the national Reporting Standard.
