Sustainable Entrepreneurship: Mapping propositions for more sustainable business models

The objective was to verify, in the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, theoretical propositions that contribute to the development of more sustainable business models. The study comprises a systematic literature review using the ProKnow-C method, which allowed for the selection of a portfolio of articles published in the period 2013-2022, available in the Web of Science, using the keyword 'sustainable entrepreneurship.' Bibliometric analysis was employed to identify influential works and delineate the intellectual structure of the field. The results suggest that sustainable entrepreneurship has challenged organizations to eliminate waste, be concerned about environmental degradation, and on the people affected by their practices, considering the dimensions of sustainability as inseparable. The literature points out propositions for the integration of sustainability principles, creation of value propositions and sustainable innovations, the establishment of strategic partnerships, and entrepreneurs' behaviors to implement sustainable solutions.
