Abstract

This paper investigates the pivotal role of Business Intelligence (BI) in bolstering environmental management strategies, employing a comparative analysis framework. Through an exhaustive review of existing literature, this study synthesizes findings to elucidate the multifaceted intersections between BI implementation and environmental management practices. By scrutinizing various scholarly works, the paper discerns the mechanisms through which BI technologies empower organizations to monitor, analyze, and optimize their environmental performance.  The study also sheds light on the effectiveness of BI tools in enhancing environmental management strategies across diverse organizational contexts. Insights gleaned from this study offer valuable guidance for policymakers, managers, and researchers striving to harness the potential of BI for sustainable environmental stewardship.
