Resumo
Objective: Despite advances in studies in the field of corporate governance and sustainable development, it is still unclear what the central themes of research focused on this intersection of knowledge are. Therefore, the objective of this article is to map studies on corporate governance and sustainable development, understanding how these two fields of knowledge relate to each other and what the trends are for future studies.
Methodology: The methodology used in this article was bibliometrics, which is the study of the quantitative aspects of the production, dissemination and use of recorded information through the development of mathematical models and measures for forecasting and decision-making (Tague-Sutcliffe, 1992). To perform the graphical analysis of the data, the Bibliometrix software was employed, with support from the Biblioshiny application.
Findings: The first studies involving the theme of corporate governance and sustainable development dealt with issues related to business ethics and social responsibility. However, over the years, the focus has shifted to the board of directors, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility, evidencing a change in the way companies act and are responsible.
Originality/Relevance: The originality and relevance of this article lies in the mapping and understanding of the themes that are being discussed at the intersection of the literature on corporate governance and sustainable development.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study reviewed the literature on corporate governance and sustainable development and identified that the emerging themes involving both areas focus on sustainable finance, board size, ESG, and green innovation.
