Abstract: The agro-industrial complex, being one of the key sectors of the Russian Federation's economy, requires constant modernization and improvement to achieve sustainable development goals. The practical implementation of the principles of economic growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability can be achieved through a cluster approach, which allows for the creation of synergistic effects of interaction, ensuring economic growth and development. However, in the modern realities of the digital age, sustainable development is impossible without sufficient information support for the activities of agricultural machinery clusters, allowing them to demonstrate the progress achieved and their commitment to achieving ESG goals, improve business processes, ensure information transparency, attract new partners, and support the brand and image. The author supplemented the methodology with a scoring system for evaluating the information support of clusters, which made it possible to comprehensively compare clusters with each other. The objects of the study were the National industrial cluster of agricultural machinery manufacturing (Rostov region), the Agricultural machinery manufacturing cluster (Tambov region), and the agricultural machinery manufacturing cluster (Omsk region). Analysis of the information support for the sustainable development of agricultural machinery clusters showed that, despite the presence of a developed production base and stable cooperative ties, the clusters remain underrepresented.
