ABSTRACT The present study provides a detailed bibliometric analysis of the intersection between corporate entrepreneurship and sustainability. It highlights the growing importance of integrating sustainability considerations into corporate innovation and focuses in particular on how established companies can develop new sustainable products, services and processes. Based on 106 studies indexed in the Web of Science database, the analysis reveals a sharp increase in research in this field from 2006 to 2022, peaking in 2022. The main contributors to this research area are the United States, China and Europe. Key topics addressed include innovation, corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability and eco‐innovation. The latter, moreover, is identified as an emerging field. In conclusion, we consider possible directions for future research, such as exploring the impact of sustainable practices on business performance and how CSR concerns can foster eco‐innovation. Overall, this study provides a roadmap for further research into sustainable entrepreneurship within corporations, with significant implications for business strategies and environmental management.
