Abstract

Abstract :

Research on the field of study related to the environmental issue, and its repercussions on the profitability of companies has multiplied in recent years, in front of the magnitude of environmental issues, affecting biodiversity and the social well-being of populations. This study undertakes, a bibliometric analysis of the literature relating to environmental practices and business performance, whose publications took place between 2010 and 2023. On a sample of 1728 publications, divided between 1661 articles and 67 conference documents, Vosviewer and Biblioshiny software were used to perform this analysis from the Scopus database. The resulting data generally relate to the analysis of the co-occurrences of keywords, the analysis of co-authors, the geographical distribution of publications, and the ranking of influential journals and institutions in this field of study which enjoys an increasingly growing interest, on the international scene, given the number of publications which is constantly increasing, and the diversity of institutions from different countries which treat it. In this regard, we were able to reveal the collaboration networks joining the countries and institutions pioneers in our field of study as well as the main authors and influential institutions on the theme studied. Such studies open the debate on future orientations and the elements to be rethought in research, on environmental practices and business performance given the various ecological challenges, and socio-economic issues surrounding humanity.
