Abstract A socio-economic impact assessment (SEIA) requires a rigorous framework that encompasses both quantitative and qualitative indicators in order to capture a company’s broader contributions to national and regional development. In an effort to expand the existing methodology of SEA to an entire value chain of a major company with multiple production cites and an extensive value chain, this study adopts an approach that integrates conventional economic metrics with input-output modeling, primary survey data, and extensive use of official statistics. The primary objective is to evaluate not only direct effects - such as the company’s internal employment statistics, tax payments, and investments - but also the indirect and induced effects that arise as these expenditures ripple throughout the economy. By combining multiple data sources and using methodologies that have proven robust in prior research, in addition to developing proprietary methodologies, the study provides a comprehensive, methodologically sound account of the Coca-Cola System’s total impact on Russia’s socio-economic landscape. The purpose of this publication is to concentrate on the methodology of the assessment rather than the actual results.
