Abstract

A systematic review was carried out on the production and publication of research papers on the study of Financial Profitability Models for Sustainability in the Circular Economy, under the PRISMA approach (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). The purpose of the analysis proposed in this document was to know the main characteristics of the publications registered in the Scopus and WoS databases during the year and their scope in the study of the proposed variables, achieving the identification of 31 publications. Thanks to this first identification, it was possible to refine the results through the keywords entered in the search button of both platforms, which were Financial Profitability, Sustainability, and Circular Economy, reaching a total of 19 documents, already excluding duplicates and those that did not meet the analysis criteria. The identified scientific publications were analyzed in the hope of finding out the relationship between the variables, as well as the feasibility in the design of profitable models for organizations, based on sustainability policies linked to the Social Responsibility approach as the backbone of the circular economy approach.
