Integrating Energy Sustainability into Business Management: Global Perspectives and Sectoral Insights

Abstract

This paper examines the integration of energy sustainability into global business strategies, with a focus on sectoral and regional investment trends. It highlights the post-2020 surge in clean energy financing, driven by green stimulus policies, declining technology costs, and increasing corporate commitments to renewable adoption. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology emerges as the dominant investment area, followed by steady growth in wind power, while other renewables such as geothermal and biomass continue to expand at a slower pace. Comparative regional analysis shows China’s leading role, rapid growth in the United States and Europe under supportive policy frameworks, and India’s rise as a significant player. The study also explores corporate sustainability strategies ranging from aggressive renewable transitions to incremental decarbonization approaches. Findings underscore the central role of business leadership, technological innovation, and policy alignment in accelerating the global energy transition.
