Abstract
Since the concept of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) was introduced in 2004, countries worldwide have been promoting sustainable ESG principles. Based on reviewing the literature in the field of ESG between 2006 and 2023, this paper analyses the concept of ESG, its theoretical perspectives and its research areas, and then systematically constructs a detailed architectural map of the development history of ESG and its impact. By sorting out the current status of cooperation and hot topics in the ESG literature, this paper comprehensively explores the latest progress of research in the field of ESG. The study finds that (1) the concept of ESG has been gradually integrated into corporate research and investment frameworks; (2) more than half of the research focus (58.55%) is on the field of business economics; (3) the most common keywords in the ESG literature include. “corporate social responsibility”, “impact”, “performance.”
