Özet

Green business strategies of multinational enterprises (MNEs) have witnessed an upsurge in scholarly interest mainly due to the growing concern about environmental issues on a global basis. In this respect, the main purpose of this study is to synthesize and encapsulate the empirical body of research on green business strategies in the context of MNEs. Employing a systematic literature review methodology, 65 empirical articles published between 1995 and 2023 were subjected to content analysis with thematic aspects and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), theoretical underpinnings, and empirical issues. Despite considerable progress, the findings of the systematic review unveil the shortcomings in the thematic distributions, the gaps associated with the theoretical foundations, and the fragmentations covering the empirical results, entailing additional improvements for the thrust of research on green business strategies of MNEs to move towards maturity.
