Sustaining Performance: A Systematic Review of Urban Corporate Economy's Sustainability Management and Performance

Abstract

This article consolidates past research to demonstrate that organizations progress toward advanced environmental management stages for corporate sustainability through participatory decision-making. Our contribution reveals the interplay of sustainable development governance, organizational knowledge, sustainable organizational development, and corporate sustainability, shaping environmental and sustainability management. Conducting a quantitative literature review in June 2020, we examined ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using keywords like "corporate sustainability," "sustainability management," and "sustainability performance." Among the 338 relevant articles from the last two years, 93 primarily empirical sources were selected, excluding less substantiated or general findings due to space constraints. Future studies should explore how corporate governance, integrated with organizational sustainability practices and performance reporting, influences operational environmental sustainability and fosters a culture of sustainable organizational practices.
