", "\nABSTRACT\nPublic policies for industrial sustainability have proliferated in recent years, leading to a significant increase in research on the topic. Nevertheless, these studies remain fragmented, and a holistic, up‐to‐date map of research integrating current knowledge from the definition of the agenda setting and policy design to policy evaluation still lacks. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of industrial sustainability policies throughout the entire policymaking process. To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review approach was adopted. By relying on Elsevier's Scopus and Web of Science and combining appropriate keywords related to sustainability, policy, and industry, we identified and analyzed 175 peer‐reviewed papers on the topic. We then classified and summarized them in detail according to five stages of the policymaking process. We found research gaps, proposed directions for future research, and provided some recommendations to policymakers. In doing this, we significantly contribute to both theory and practice.\n"]
