“…Using the right edutainment activities, resort mini-clubs have the potential to help resorts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as SDG 4, namely, "Quality education", and SDG 12, "Responsible Consumption and production" (Seraphin and Vo-Thanh, 2020; see also the contribution of Mauri in this issue):…”

“…As mountain tourism is facing many sustainability issues (Bourdeau, 2008;Dornier and Mauri, 2018;Gerbaux et al, 2020), and as the involvement of all stakeholders is important for the sustainability of this form of tourism (Bourdeau, 2008;Dornier and Mauri, 2018;Gerbaux et al, 2020), it appears at this stage that resort mini-clubs could be used to engage a disempowered customer, namely, children (Hutton, 2016;Osti and Cicero, 2018;Seraphin and Vo-Thanh, 2020) in responsible tourism activities. Mountain tourism, sustainability, children, and resort mini-clubs are therefore aligning (Figure 1).…”

“…At the moment, the society has designated as disempowered some categories of consumers, and among these are children (Hutton, 2016). The tourism industry and cognate sectors have done the same with children (Hertzman et al, 2008;Poria and Timothy, 2014;Yallop, 2019a, 2019b;Seraphin and Vo-Thanh, 2020). The fact that children are being left aside is going to be the key focus of this study, as it is aiming to identify ways to empower children within the responsible tourism paradigm.…”

“…Mini Clubs, that were first created by Club Med in seaside resorts, can foster the sensitivity of children towards sustainability from a very young age by using a blend of educational and entertaining activities. Séraphin and Vo-Thanh (2020) suggest that education on sustainability for children in resorts, mini-clubs should cover all three domains of knowledge. Practically, Séraphin and Yallop (2019) promote the following actions for mini-clubs: they should have a local name and their activities should be embedded in the local culture; local products should be served and activities should be animated by locals.…”

The pursuit of sustainable development goals (SDGs) extends beyond governmental responsibility, demanding active engagement from businesses and managers. This study systematically reviews SDG‐related research within the fields of business and management to elucidate their roles in advancing this global agenda. By analyzing a corpus of pertinent studies from Scopus and Web of Science through bibliometric–content analysis, this study not only identifies publication trends, prominent contributors, theories, contexts, and methods but also uncovers the evolving roles of businesses and managers in driving the SDGs. The main themes emerging from this analysis include (1) forging sustainable partnerships, practices, and policies, reflecting businesses' role in stakeholder collaboration and policymaking; (2) addressing contemporary sustainability challenges like artificial intelligence and the dynamics of emerging economies; (3) balancing economic advancement with environmental sustainability, highlighting businesses' impact on ecological footprints and the importance of green finance; (4) integrating financial development considerations with ecological responsibility; (5) promoting equity and well‐being, underscoring the influence of businesses and managers on societal welfare; and (6) shaping governance frameworks for sustainable production and consumption. These themes collectively paint a comprehensive picture of how business and management practices are crucial in achieving the SDGs, offering insights into current contributions, and charting potential pathways for future research and implementation.
