Given current limitations of global and national governance arrangements in redirecting economic globalisation towards a climate-safe and sustainable world, it is crucial to understand how organisations that aim to tackle social and environmental problems using market mechanisms can contribute to fostering sustainability transformations. This review identified 60 different terms or concepts for hybrid organisations aiming to solve social and ecological problems through market related activities, reflecting a high degree of discontinuity and inconsistency in the literature. To assess the contribution to societal transformations of this array of innovative ventures, we introduce and operationalise Sustainability-Oriented Hybrid Organisations (SOHOs) as an umbrella concept to carry out a comprehensive review of 126 scientific articles that discuss them. Unlike traditional enterprises who apply one logic (commercial) and social and environmental enterprises who combine two logics (social–commercial or environmental–commercial), SOHOs unite commercial, social, and environmental logics, beliefs, and practices simultaneously—thereby adopting a higher level of organisational hybridity. SOHOs are oriented towards achieving net-positive sustainability and consider future generations and global socio-ecological systems which makes transforming enterprises towards SOHO models a potentially significant intervention point for promoting sustainability transformations. However, the narratives and actions of SOHOs can perpetuate rather than ameliorate the underlying causes and differential impacts of complex problems like climate change, unless the organisations adopt systemic, global, long-term, and socio-ecologically embedded strategies.

鉴于当前全球和国家治理安排在使经济全球化转向气候安全和可持续世界方面存在局限性，至关重要的是要了解旨在利用市场机制解决社会和环境问题的组织如何有助于促进可持续性转型。这篇综述为混合型组织确定了60个不同的术语或概念，旨在通过与市场相关的活动来解决社会和生态问题，反映出文献中高度的不连续性和前后矛盾。为了评估这一系列创新企业对社会转型的贡献，我们引入了以可持续发展为导向的混合组织（SOHO），并将其作为一个总体概念进行操作，以对讨论它们的126篇科学文章进行全面审查。与采用一种逻辑（商业）的传统企业和结合两种逻辑（社会-商业或环境-商业）的社会和环境企业不同，SOHO同时结合了商业，社会和环境逻辑，信念和实践，因此采用了更高的层次组织混合性。SOHO的目标是实现净积极的可持续性，并考虑到子孙后代和全球社会生态系统，这使向SOHO模式转变的企业成为促进可持续性转型的潜在重要干预点。然而，
