THE GREEN REVOLUTION: HOW SUSTAINABLE LEADERSHIP IS REDEFINING CORPORATE SUCCESS

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between sustainable leadership practices and corporate success metrics across 450 organizations from various industries. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys, financial performance indicators, and environmental impact assessments over a three-year period (2021-2024). The research employed multiple regression analysis, structural equation modeling, and ANOVA to test the hypotheses. Results demonstrated a significant positive correlation (r = 0.743, p < 0.001) between sustainable leadership implementation and overall corporate performance. Organizations with high sustainable leadership scores showed 23.7% higher profitability, 31.2% better employee satisfaction, and 42.8% improved environmental performance compared to traditional leadership models. The study revealed that sustainable leadership practices, including environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and long-term strategic thinking, serve as key predictors of contemporary corporate success. These findings suggest that the integration of sustainability principles into leadership frameworks is not merely an ethical imperative but a strategic necessity for long-term organizational viability.
