Abstract: Purpose: This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current research, shedding light on the relationship between sustainable practices and attaining sustainable development goals.Methodology: Employing the PRISMA statement as the methodological framework and utilising VOS-Viewer software for bibliometric analysis, we conducted a thorough search across academic databases, particularly Scopus, using various keyword combinations. Among the 2,574 records identified, we selected 209 relevant studies published between 2020 and 2023 for systematic analysis.Findings: The results highlight a growing body of literature recognising the role of sustainable practices in advancing sustainable development goals. Notably, the United Kingdom emerges as the most collaborative country regarding research output and link strength. Most research was conducted in developed countries, constituting 76.87%.Implications: Additionally, the review identifies barriers and challenges that impede the seamless integration of sustainable practices with sustainable development objectives. This review aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about the current state of knowledge in this field while identifying avenues for further research and potential policy measures.
