In the last decade, the intersection of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles with digital innovation has become a crucial area of research, highlighted by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the emerging focus on Digital ESG (DESG). Despite rapid advancements, a unified theoretical framework for DESG remains undefined. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis on 455 Scopus-indexed documents to map the current landscape, themes, and future directions of ESG digitalization research. The review reveals a multidisciplinary interest, primarily within business management, with significant contributions from China, Malaysia, and the United States—indicating their leadership potential in ESG digitalization. This study spotlights key researchers and emphasizes foundational work’s critical role in enhancing understanding of DESG and ESG’s impact on consumer behavior, laying essential groundwork for deeper insights and future explorations into the effects of ESG values on consumer attitudes.

Recently, the phenomenon of population ageing and its impact on the insurance industry has garnered increasing global attention. However, a notable gap in scholarly research persists in understanding the nuanced effects of ageing on consumer behaviour and insurance purchase intentions. This study maps the current academic evidence on how ageing influences individual consumers' insurance decisions. Using a scoping review methodology aligned with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for scoping reviews and Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, 44 articles out of 1082 from four databases—Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Emerald Insight—are reviewed. The results reveal a rising interest in this research area, with China emerging as a significant contributor. The focus is predominantly on Theory of Planned Behavior, quantitative methods, questionnaire survey, regression analysis, older population, and general health insurance. Variables capturing the impact of ageing, beyond demographic information, include family-related, risk-related, and expectation-related factors. This study highlights the current state of research on ageing's effect on insurance purchase intentions and offers valuable insights and directions for future research.
