Abstract

The business environment in Uganda is characterized by a complex interplay of traditional practices and modern market mechanisms, leading to significant policy gaps. A systematic review approach was employed, encompassing secondary data from government reports, academic journals, and industry publications to assess the adequacy of existing policies. The analysis revealed a notable absence of comprehensive legal frameworks addressing environmental sustainability in business operations, with only 30% of reviewed documents mentioning this aspect. Current policy gaps highlight the need for more robust legislative measures that integrate ethical considerations into business practices to ensure long-term viability and sustainability. Ugandan policymakers are encouraged to develop comprehensive legal frameworks that prioritise environmental sustainability, public health, and social equity in their regulatory initiatives.
