Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study presents a bibliometric analysis of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) research to identify global trends and specific focuses within the Slovak Republic. The analysis aims to explore the impact of ESG factors on corporate performance by examining 23,916 publications from 1990 to 2023. The study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the relationship between ESG factors and corporate performance through a systematic analysis of academic publications. The integration of ESG factors into investment decisions and corporate strategies has gained increasing attention in recent decades due to the growing importance of sustainable and responsible business practices. This study identifies the overall trends in ESG research on a global scale and focuses on the developments within the Slovak Republic, offering valuable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities related to ESG factors in the Slovak business environment. The findings of this analysis can enhance policymakers' and corporate leaders' understanding of ESG factors' impact on corporate performance in both a global and local context, and aid researchers in investigating the most relevant and significant ESG research topics.
