Sustainable management practices are essential for achieving long-term economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being. Governments play a critical role in promoting these practices through the formulation and implementation of effective policies, regulations, and incentive mechanisms. This study examines the role of government policies in encouraging the adoption of sustainable management practices across various sectors. It explores how regulatory frameworks, financial incentives, environmental standards, and awareness programs influence organizational behaviour toward sustainability. The research also analyses challenges faced by governments and organizations, including policy enforcement, compliance costs, and limited institutional capacity. Using a qualitative and secondary data–based approach, the study highlights best practices and policy tools that have successfully driven sustainable outcomes. The findings suggest that coherent, well-enforced, and participatory government policies significantly enhance the integration of sustainability into management practices, contributing to long-term national development goals and environmental resilience.
