Abstract: This paper attempts to provide an intellectual structure to fragmented literature on the topic 'sustainability reporting' by organisations using bibliometric analysis and attempts to ascertain potential future research agenda. The sample includes 496 articles from the Web of Science (WoS) database from 2001 to 2021. The sample is analysed with bibliometric methods like bibliographic coupling, citation analysis, co-citation analysis, co-word and thematic map analysis using VOS viewer. The results show key authors such as Warren Maroun, Belen Fernandez-Feijoo, and Olivier Boiral; key universities such as University of Salamanca, University of the Witwatersrand, and University of Vigo; key journals such as Journal of Business Ethics, Accounting, Auditing & Accountability, and Business Strategy and the Environment; and key countries such as Spain, the USA, and Australia, that have contributed significantly to the existing literature. Further, this paper highlights the increasing relevance of sustainability reporting in research and suggests directions for the future research.
