| Summary: | The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a set of 17 global goals defined by the United Nations (UN) with the purpose of promoting sustainable development in its social, environmental and economic dimensions. Currently, companies face challenges due to the cost of implementing responsible and sustainable practices in the business world. This article examines the relationship between sustainable practices (SP) and financial performance (FD) of companies, within the framework of the SDGs. The research is based on a systematic review of existing literature. The study's findings support the idea that sustainable practices benefit companies financially, providing a competitive advantage for those businesses that implement sustainable strategies. Thus, sustainability is not only an ethical and environmental imperative, but it is also an opportunity to improve profitability and business competitiveness. |
