本論文は、2020年から2024年までの海運業界におけるESG研究の体系的文献レビューである。PRISMA手法を用いて20本の学術論文を分析し、当初は環境問題に偏っていた関心が、環境・社会・ガバナンスの3本柱を統合した枠組みへと進化していることを明らかにした。ESGパフォーマンスと財務パフォーマンスの正の相関、ESG開示、リスク管理が主要な研究テーマであり、開示基準の不統一や業界特有の評価枠組みの欠如といった課題が浮き彫りになった。将来的には、業界特化型フレームワークの開発やデータの信頼性向上が求められる。

📄 Abstract（原文）
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has emerged as a critical paradigm for corporate sustainable development. In the maritime industry, a sector central to global trade, ESG is gaining prominence, driven by regulatory pressures and investor demands. This study conducts a systematic literature review to map the research landscape of ESG in the shipping industry from 2020 to 2024. Employing the PRISMA methodology, we analyze 20 core academic papers from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Our findings reveal a rapidly growing research interest, with a clear thematic evolution from a singular focus on environmental issues to a more holistic, three-pillar (E, S, and G) framework. Key research hotspots identified include the relationship between ESG performance and financial performance, ESG disclosure, and risk management. While a positive correlation between good ESG practices and corporate financial performance is a recurring theme, significant challenges persist, notably inconsistent disclosure standards, fragmented global research efforts, and a lack of industry-specific evaluation frameworks. This review synthesizes the current state of knowledge, identifies critical research gaps, and proposes a forward-looking agenda focusing on developing industry-specific frameworks, analyzing external institutional impacts, and enhancing data credibility. Our findings provide a foundational reference for academics, policymakers, and industry practitioners to advance the sustainable transformation of the shipping industry.
