Relationship of Supply Chain Finance and Sustainable Financial Performance: A Bibliometric Analysis of Publication Trends using VOSviewer

Abstract

Sustainability has become prominent issue in supply chain management research over the past two decades, driven by globalization, environmental concerns, the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, sustainability research in supply chain management lacks depth and innovation, particularly in integrating sustainable practices and supply chain finance solutions. The main objective of this research was to examine research progress in supply chain finance and its impact on sustainable financial performance. The Scopus database was used to analyze a study on the correlation between supply chain finance and sustainable financial performance from 2009 to April 2024. This study highlighted the importance of integrating financial and operational strategies for long-term success in supply chain management, with the largest point being sustainable development. A thorough review will be advantageous for future researchers, as it will assist them in constructing a conceptual framework that offers a comprehensive understanding of global research.
