Through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in Scopus between 2000 and 2025, this study investigates the thematic development and evolution of research on sustainability and managerial strategies over the previous 20 years. The results show that research leadership has shifted significantly geographically, with Asian economies—especially China and India—becoming the main contributors in recent years, while Western countries like the United States and the United Kingdom dominated early contributions. The balance between theoretical frameworks and practical approaches is reflected in the analysis's identification of distinct thematic clusters, such as corporate governance and sustainability reporting, sustainable supply chains and operational strategies, and green innovation and circular economy practices. The field's intellectual framework has been shaped by influential writers, especially those from China, and keyword research reveals how digitalization, AI, and green innovation are increasingly being incorporated into sustainability studies. The findings show that, thanks to interdisciplinary cooperation, technological advancement, and international policy imperatives, sustainability has evolved from a side issue to a crucial part of corporate strategy. There are still gaps, though, in areas like reporting on biodiversity, disclosure pertaining to governance, and the function of intangible resources like spiritual capital. All things considered, the study advances knowledge of how managerial approaches are being rethought to incorporate sustainability into corporate operations across the globe.
