Sustainability has come to be an organizational strategic priority in the quest for long-term competitiveness and endurance. This paper analyzes how sustainability strategies, with the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework, drive organizational performance. Grounded in stakeholder theory and triple bottom line thinking, the study presents a model that embeds sustainable practices into business strategy. Using a descriptive-correlational design, the methodology includes surveys and analysis of secondary data to explore correlations between ESG practices and key performance indicators. Expected findings suggest that ESG initiatives positively impact financial results, operational efficiency, and corporate reputation, making sustainability a critical driver of business success.
