Public policy and regulatory-legal mechanisms have become central to effective economic governance and sustainable production systems due to increasing environmental concerns, technological advancements, and global market pressures (Ahmadova & Mammadov, 2025b; Alizadeh & Ibrahimov, 2026). Coordinated state policies and robust legal frameworks enhance compliance, promote resource efficiency, and drive innovation across production sectors (Ahmadova, Alasgarova, & Ibrahimov, 2026; Mammadov, Alizade, Ibrahimov, & Mammadov, 2026). Recent studies emphasize the importance of integrating governance, policy enforcement, and sustainability-oriented strategies to ensure long-term economic stability and environmental resilience (OECD, 2021; Geissdoerfer, Savaget, Bocken, & Hultink, 2017). This study analyzes different policy and regulatory models that support sustainable production practices, evaluating their role in improving economic management outcomes and fostering sustainable industrial development.
