Companies worldwide can play a fundamental role in the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda. This paper aims to determine the scope of the existing literature about the role that organizations play in contributing to the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A bibliometric analysis is conducted considering the papers specifically focused on SDGs and businesses published from 2015 to 2021 in journals indexed in the Scopus database. The analysis shows that approximately 80% of the studies on this topic have been published in the last three years. Moreover, only one journal (Sustainability) has published more than the 50% of the publications on the subject. The final sample is divided into 11 clusters that analyze different perspectives within the same research topic, and, in all these clusters, practically all of the papers have been published in the last two years, which confirms that this issue is increasing its presence in the academic world. This work extends the existing research on the subject, taking into account the publications of the last year, so it is an update on this “hot topic”. Moreover, it contributes to providing a reference frame of the state of the art of this research topic and can orientate researchers in the development of future studies

“…However, the contributions of this study go beyond linking these management challenges to SDG outcomes. Specifically, the study embodies several of Rygh et al ’s (2022) recommendations for conducting international business research that is more relevant for the SDGs. Further, the empirical insights also reveal practical challenges connected to Araujo et al ’s (2022) eco-centric management framework; especially to the dimensions linked to sense making and embeddedness.…”

“…Whereas the papers by Rygh et al (2022) and Celone et al (2021) present high-level and big picture perspectives, the remaining three articles zoom in on more specific aspects. Araujo et al (2022) propose an eco-centric management mindset framework and discuss how adopting such a mindset can help companies contribute to the SDGs.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to reflect on the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework as a milestone for concerted efforts to tackle the underlying grand challenges. Design/methodology/approach This viewpoint is predominantly conceptual in nature. However, this study adapts the University of Auckland's SDG key words to broadly map existing international business research in each SDG category across nine journals. Findings The SDG framework offers a positive and inclusive way forward to integrate social and environmental with economic aspects in the field of international business. Originality/value The inclusive nature of the SDG framework may achieve what previous labels such as social value creation and corporate social responsibility could not. It offers a path where integrating social and environmental with economic perspectives does not need to threaten the identity of the field. The SDG mapping exercise across nine selected journals clearly demonstrates that mainstream, economically focused research can continue to make valuable contributions to the SDGs as long as the discipline allows more room for integrators.
