With the pressing need for sustainable development and the growing focus on corporate social responsibility, there has been an increase in research interest in the intersection of business and environmental sustainability. This research provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on environmentally sustainable business. In order to identify and analyse trends, patterns, and gaps in research on sustainable business strategies that align with environmental conservation and economic sustainability, we collected data from Web of Science database and used “biblioshiny” library in R. Our analysis included a total of 3,477 publications, employing advanced data analytics to map the evolution of the field, key contributors, and the most influential studies. We have used citation analysis, coauthorship networks, and keyword frequency analysis to reveal emerging themes and the impact of regulatory changes on business practices. Additionally, we mined the citation network to detect influential works and identified emerging areas of inquiry. This study not only charts the historical trend of the discourse, but also identifies future research directions, facilitating academics, policymakers, and business leaders in strategizing effective environmental sustainability. initiatives.
