Sustainability reports allow companies to show their commitment to social issues, these revelations transcend the financial sphere, but they also have an impact on it, contributing to the fulfillment of the basic financial objective. Presently, there is a growing interest from both, business and academic fields, in studying the impact of these reports on different dimensions of the companies. In this study, a bibliographic analysis of twenty articles published in SJR journals chosen from an initial database that gathered ninety-one articles is carried out. It was found that from the analysis of different variables, most of the authors came to the conclusion that social, environmental and governance performance positively impacts on the fulfillment of the basic objective of the companies.
