This paper comprehensively analyses the shift in sustainable management practices and policies in China, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to explore how Chinese organizations adapt to increased market and stakeholder demands for sustainability, focusing on integrating digitalization into sustainability strategies, the influence of sustainability on financial performance, and the role of leadership in promoting sustainable business models. The study uses a qualitative approach to analyse empirical data from various Chinese companies and policy documents. Key findings reveal a significant move towards adopting circular economy principles, a growing emphasis on sustainable risk management, and the notable impact of green finance initiatives. The paper contributes to understanding the evolution of sustainable management in the context of a major global economy, highlighting the challenges and potential pathways for integrating sustainability into core business strategies. This analysis provides valuable insights for policymakers and business leaders globally, illustrating the complex interplay between sustainability, economic development, and digital transformation in the post-COVID era.
