This study identifies elements of Islamic Corporate Governance (ICG) that contribute to the performance of shariah-compliant firms. A systematic literature review is carried out on 173 relevant articles from the Scopus database, spanning from 2004 to 2024. It identifies five key elements of ICG: (1) Shariah board governance, (2) management and board governance, (3) audit and risk governance, (4) sustainable governance, and (5) Muslim management and board governance. These key elements encompass various sub-elements that have diverse impacts on firm performance across financial, social, and environmental dimensions. The findings offer specific implications for Indonesia, emphasizing the integration of sustainability practices into corporate governance mechanisms and considering distinct approaches to ICG mechanisms for dual-sector performance between Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) and non-IFIs.

This study validates that ICG mechanisms are strongly aligned with the goals of Shariah (Maqashid Shariah), which include preserving wealth, safeguarding the community (ummah), and protecting the environment.These principles of Maqashid Shariah resonate with the framework of the triple bottom line, encapsulated by the tagline “people, planet, and profit, which emphasizes that businesses should not only pursue economic gains but also contribute positively to society and the environment.This study also clarifies that some identified elements of ICG may not differ significantly from those used in conventional corporate governance.However, the key distinction lies in the integration of Islamic values within each element of the ICG structure.The alternative ICG Mechanism recommends that policymakers, such as the Bank of Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority, and the National Sharia Council, implement regulations with specific requirements for companies seeking inclusion in the Shariah stock index.

Based on the findings, several research avenues emerge. Firstly, future research could investigate the interplay between religiosity and ICG practices, moving beyond simple religious affiliation to explore the depth of faith-based motivations influencing corporate decisions. Secondly, longitudinal studies are needed to track the evolving impact of sustainability committees and other governance elements over time, assessing their effectiveness in driving both financial and non-financial performance. Thirdly, cross-cultural comparative analyses could examine how ICG principles are adapted and implemented across different Muslim-majority countries, identifying best practices and potential challenges for Indonesia. Finally, research could explore the development and implementation of tailored Islamic ethical business indices and Sharia operational training programs to support and improve the integration of Islamic values within Indonesian companies.
