It critically examines the dynamic interface between emerging leadership strategies and sustainable organizational frameworks, that help establish a linkage with impact of green leadership on sustainability outcomes. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: Adopting a meticulous and rigorous systematic review approach, this paper analyzes a carefully selected sample of 24 seminal research papers from the past decade filtered randomly by employing desk research on secondary data. These studies were chosen based on their scholarly impact and relevance, sourced from top-tier, double-blind peer-reviewed journals accessed through databases such as Google Scholar, EBSCO, JSTOR, MDPI, and Emerald. The methodology focuses on dissecting and synthesizing theoretical propositions and empirical findings to forge a robust understanding of green leadership’s scope and effectiveness. Findings: This review highlights a significant correlation between green leadership and enhanced organizational sustainability metrics, including environmental stewardship, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable corporate cultures. It identifies how green leaders successfully integrate sustainability into business strategies and operational practices, thereby driving substantial improvements in both ecological and social governance aspects.
