Sustainable Business Practices: A Systematic Literature Review Of Corporate Integration Strategies, Supply Chain Management, And Strategic Implementation

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the current state of sustainable business practices integration across corporate operations, supply chains, and strategic frameworks. Through comprehensive analysis of 80+ peer-reviewed sources, industry reports, and case studies from 2020-2025, this study identifies key trends, challenges, and opportunities in corporate sustainability implementation. The research reveals significant growth in ESG investment markets, persistent implementation barriers, and emerging best practices that drive both financial and environmental performance. Key findings indicate that while 74% of CEOs value sustainability, only 45% of companies effectively measure sustainability ROI, and 87% struggle with supply chain visibility. The study presents evidence-based recommendations for enhancing sustainability integration and achieving measurable impact across business operations.
