Abstract [eng] This thesis explores the principles and mechanisms of integrating sustainable business management principles at the level of international firms, emphasizing the growing importance of sustainability in global business operations. With increasing pressures for environmental protection, social equity, and economic viability, international firms are compelled to adopt sustainable practices to navigate complex cultural, regulatory, and market dynamics. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how international firms can effectively implement sustainable practices, manage associated challenges, and leverage sustainability for competitive advantage. The theoretical framework addresses the concept of sustainable business management, focusing on environmental responsibility, social impact, and economic resilience. The empirical research employs quantitative methods and correlation analysis to evaluate the impact of sustainability integration on organizational performance. The findings reveal that firms adopting sustainable practices enhance their brand reputation, market positioning, and resilience against external shocks and regulatory changes. The study underscores the significance of innovation, stakeholder collaboration, and supply chain optimization in promoting sustainability. It concludes with actionable recommendations for firms to integrate sustainability into their operational frameworks, supported by robust monitoring and continuous improvement. These insights aim to guide firms in pursuing ethical, responsible, and profitable practices within the global business landscape.
