Abstract: The present article investigates the literary corpus on knowledge management (KM), management accounting and control (MAC) systems, and sustainability implementation. The adopted method is a systematic literature review (SLR) analysis on articles listed on Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). The authors followed a rigorous research protocol that led to a final sample composed of 61 academic articles. This body of work: (i) profiles the selected articles underscoring journals productivity, geographical scope, methodological approach, and the most cited manuscripts; (ii) identifies and classifies the six main thematic clusters detailed as: corporate social responsibility, sustainability reporting, sustainable supply chain management, human resource management, green innovation, and universities as knowledge rich organizations; (iii) allows for the proposition of a conceptual framework; and (iv) helps establish existing research gaps. The present body of work carries both theoretical and practical implications, as well as limitations associated with its methodological approach and scope.
