Abstract

The present research contributes to understanding the current state of knowledge (period 2020-2025) regarding the role of taxation to promote changes in the behavior/strategy of companies contributing to corporate environmental responsibility and a more sustainable behavior. This systematic review (PRISMA methodology) examines the role of environmental taxation and sustainability, finding that 31 out of 70 Scopus articles address the issue. It concludes that sustainability is a systemic challenge (economics, technology, politics, environment). The research focuses on the tax-sustainability interrelationship, which is essential for lasting solutions. At the business level, an integrated approach (industrial optimisation, designed taxation, collaborative governance) is imperative for sustainable goals, generating economic, social and environmental benefits. Emphasis is placed on the integration of fiscal policies and sectoral strategies to maximise incentives (taxes/benefits) in key sectors (energy, manufacturing, agriculture), ensuring equal opportunities and preventing inequalities.
