Abstract: The ecological devastation observed in the 21st century requires everyone’s participation, including corporates. Many companies have, therefore, incorporated these ecological concerns into their sustainability decisions. We reviewed studies on the nexus of ecological and entrepreneurial sustainability in the context of corporates (large enterprises). The review focuses on clarifying concepts and building a conceptual framework to enhance a better and comprehensive understanding of the ecological side of corporate entrepreneurship sustainability. Through a systematic review of 53 selected papers, we provide inputs for integrating the ecological aspects into company policies and philosophy, in order to build a green business that balances business opportunities with environmental commitments. The study initiates new research agendas by creating a new construct—sustainable corporate ecological entrepreneurship (SCEE).
