Policy initiatives based on research trends on climate change and corporate social responsibility strategy: Bibliometric analysis

Research on climate change and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has an important role in understanding the impacts of climate change and developing responsible business practices. The purpose of this research is to further explore the tangibility between the two topics by maximizing the assessment results in the available literature and considering helpful policy recommendations. This research method uses bibliometric analysis by relying on the Vosviewer analysis tool. The results of this study indicate that research on climate change and CSR has become an increasingly relevant topic in recent years. Countries such as the United States (US), China, and the United Kingdom (UK) show a strong interest and commitment to studying the impacts of climate change and adopting responsible business practices. Various topics, such as carbon emissions, environmental management, decision-making, energy efficiency, and sustainable development, are the main focus of this research. Initiating policies based on these research trends is important to direct corporate actions towards sustainability. Collaboration with the government is also a key factor in creating a policy framework that supports CSR practices. This research reflects the importance of the concerted efforts of various countries and stakeholders in tackling the challenge of climate change and promoting socially and environmentally responsible business practices.
