The article addresses the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in forming the resilience of corporate governance systems within the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of Ukraine. The study is motivated by the critical challenges facing Ukrainian agroholdings under full-scale war: destruction of production and transport infrastructure, temporary occupation or mining of agricultural land, disruption of export routes, and a severe labor shortage. These circumstances have demonstrated that conventional approaches focused on stability or resistance are no longer sufficient to ensure sustainable agribusiness operation. The institutional nature of agroholdings is analyzed as vertically integrated structures combining logistical coordination with social governance. Their formation on the basis of joint-stock capital creates preconditions for establishing control over key segments of the AIC, while vertical integration minimizes transaction costs and reduces dependence on external counterparties. A conceptual distinction is drawn between the categories of "resistance" and "resilience": the former denotes the capacity of a system to withstand external pressures while preserving its structure, whereas the latter implies the ability to adapt, learn, and generate new development trajectories after crossing a bifurcation point. Resilient systems do not merely survive crises – they use external shocks as impulses for institutional and functional renewal. Four key channels through which CSR influences corporate governance system resilience are identified: human capital development, stakeholder engagement, ESG practices, and reputational capital. Investment in human capital enhances personnel adaptability and reduces managerial failures. Responsible relationships with stakeholders diminish conflict in the external environment and provide informal support during instability. The integration of CSR and ESG approaches into the governance system increases transparency and enables proactive risk management. Reputational capital broadens access to financing and accelerates recovery after destabilizing shocks. It is demonstrated that under wartime conditions, with logistical chains broken and the agro-export model transformed, corporate governance system resilience is shaped at the intersection of economic, social, and territorial factors. CSR in this context functions not merely as a reputational policy instrument but as a strategic tool for maintaining manageability, sustaining community employment, and restoring production and logistics processes. The conclusion is drawn that integrating CSR and ESG principles into the corporate governance system of agroholdings is a key determinant of their long-term resilience, and applied methodological tools for measuring this resilience require further development.
