This work aims to determine the importance of business sustainability the issues that underpin it by emphasizing its relationship with financial performance. A documentary review was carried out that allowed topics development: Business sustainability, Standards related to sustainability, Socially responsible funds, Sustainability reports, and Business sustainability and financial performance. It was found that sustainability has reached a fundamental relevance for financial performance, to such an extent that more and more sustainability indexes have been created, allowing stakeholders to evaluate the sustainable performance of companies and identify the socially responsible investments these companies emit. Corporate sustainability reports have been adopted voluntarily to publicize the sustainable actions carried out by these entities. These reports are constantly evolving and increasingly seek to align business strategy with social needs. Finally, it was found that empirical research shows a positive relationship between Business Sustainability and Financial Performance, thus showing the imperative need for companies to achieve financial sustainability.</p>}, number={72}, journal={Cuadernos de Administración}, author={Saavedra García, María Luisa}, year={2022}, month={Apr.}, pages={e4010835} }
