Abstract
The integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles has become increasingly important in the agribusiness sector, which faces significant challenges related to sustainability, resource management, and social responsibility. This study explores the motivations and implications of adopting ESG practices within agribusiness, highlighting how these practices can support both environmental stewardship and corporate resilience. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research publications concerning ESG from 2000 to 2023. The analysis aims to evaluate the current state of knowledge, identify prevailing trends, and uncover existing research gaps. Utilising a dataset comprising 3874 research publications retrieved from the Web of Science database, the findings indicate a substantial growth in ESG-related research, underscoring an increased global awareness of critical challenges. Through a review of relevant literature, the research analyses the role of ESG across three key pillars: the environmental impact of agricultural activities, social considerations such as fair labour practices and community engagement, and governance aspects related to transparency and accountability. The findings suggest that companies that prioritize ESG principles are better equipped to meet the growing expectations of stakeholders, including investors, consumers, and regulatory bodies, while also enhancing their competitive position in the market. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of climate-smart agriculture and effective governance in addressing the sector’s complex challenges. Ultimately, the research underscores the critical role of ESG integration in promoting sustainable development and long-term viability for agribusinesses.
