Focus

Sustainable Economics and Business Review (SEBR) focuses on advancing scholarly knowledge on sustainability-oriented economic and business systems, including conventional and Shariah-based perspectives. The journal emphasizes how economic dynamics, managerial decision-making, and accounting practices interact in fostering sustainable economic development, organizational resilience, ethical value creation, and long-term socio-economic welfare.

The central theme of the journal is sustainability-driven decision making, examining how sustainability principles—such as intergenerational justice, ethical governance, social responsibility, and stewardship of resources—shape economic policies, business strategies, governance mechanisms, and accountability systems across public, private, and hybrid organizations in both developed and emerging economies, including those operating under Islamic economic and business frameworks.
