Abstract

Due to SMEs crucial and dynamic role in the country's economic growth, exploring the important drivers is crucial to motivate the proper implementation of environmental sustainability (ES) practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study's objectives are to identify relevant drivers of ES practices in SMEs and provide future research directions. The systematic literature review (SLR) methodology proposed by Tranfield et al. (2003) has been adopted with some modifications in this study. The authors have undertaken extensive literature review (n = 22) published between 2009 to 2020 in reputable journals and developed a framework. After analysing the relevant articles critically, 87 drivers have been identified and categorised under two main clusters (internal and external) and eight dimensions. This study contributes to the extant literature by highlighting the importance and current practices of ES in SMEs and proposed a framework integrated with multi-dimensional drivers which provide directions to sustainability scholars.
