| Summary: | The escalating global water crisis has driven increased academic attention on corporate water responsibility management (WRM). However, research into corporate WRM remains limited and fragmented, and a holistic understanding of WRM is lacking. Hence, to increase the awareness on WRM, we systematically reviewed 105 research articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, spanning years 2004-2024. Through this review, we identified key determinants, interests, potential risks, and opportunities for future research from the existing literature. Moreover, we constructed an integrated framework offering a holistic perspective. Essentially, while WRM is emerging as a critical area of study, there is an urgent need for both deeper academic exploration and greater corporate engagement. This review provides a complete picture of existing WRM research and outlines clear directions for future quantitative and qualitative studies. |
