    Propósito: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo centrarse en el análisis bibliométrico y el concepto de desempeño de sostenibilidad corporativa (CSP) para comprender las tendencias evolutivas y de desarrollo en el campo de CSP.

    Metodología: Este estudio realizó un análisis bibliométrico de 1518 documentos indexados en Scopus sobre CSP publicados desde 1975 hasta agosto de 2021 para proporcionar información significativa para futuras discusiones. Para ello, el estudio utilizó el software VOSviewer para la redacción de la literatura y el software Publish or Perish de Harzing para obtener matrices de impacto e información de citas.

    Conclusiones: Los hallazgos revelaron que el número de publicaciones relacionadas con CSP ha aumentado en los últimos años (1975-1991: 21 publicaciones, 1992-2007: 206 publicaciones y 2008-2021: 1291 publicaciones). Además, los resultados revelaron un aumento significativo del interés en el campo de la CSP. Negocios, administración y contabilidad (34 %) fueron las áreas temáticas más estudiadas, y la Revista de Ética Empresarial, con TP de 150, como la revista científica más productiva.

    Implicaciones de la Investigación: Este estudio examina cómo ha evolucionado el interés académico en CSP e identifica áreas para una mayor exploración en el contexto de CSP. Este estudio contribuye a la literatura actual en el dominio CSP al proporcionar un análisis bibliométrico. Además, este análisis bibliométrico ayudaría en la toma de decisiones y formulación de políticas relacionadas con CSP.
