Resolving environmental, social, and governance challenges: A bibliometric review of ethical supply chain management

This review article examined how ethical supply chain management (ESCM) strikes a complex balance between business, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and environmental governance. In ethical supply chain management, resolving the challenges of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues have become the standard matter of research. This bibliometric review represents a paradigm shift toward corporate sustainability. The article offers a comprehensive strategy for navigating the challenges that make use of technology and innovation, best practices, and compliance with laws and regulations. This lens highlights how crucial ethical factors are to improve corporate sustainability and competitiveness. This work analyzed the multidisciplinary and diversified nature of ethical supply chain management in the face of ESG. In ESCM, implementing an ESG strategy improves a company's ability to innovate, its ability to create value, and its financial performance. Overall, the social and environmental performance showed a strongly positive correlation with business sustainability, suggesting a mutually reinforcing relationship between the commercial economies and generating value for society.The review's description of the literature is useful for future investigations into the ESG elements that affect corporate investments and sustainability in ESCM. This paper explained the growing interest in ESCM's CSR concerns in more detail than just a bibliometric examination. Numerous sociological and ethical considerations can account for this interest, and a number of empirical studies show how the dynamics of financial practices and CSR activities can work in concert to good effect.
