Achieving a clean environment along with economic growth and welfare is one of the aspirations of any modern society. Nowadays, researchers have accepted the correlation between the scopes of business and environment because entrepreneurship activities have been acknowledged as a significant driving force for economic, social, and environmental sustainability. A review shows that the entrepreneurship literature has experienced rapid growth, with many developments reported on a broad spectrum of topics. Nevertheless, one of the main concerns of the authors of present contribution is the nexus of entrepreneurship and the environment. Indeed, recognition of research opportunities in relation to the green entrepreneurial orientation concept can largely contribute to the theoretical development and empirical studies in entrepreneurship and environmental science. So in the meantime, the mysterious concept of green entrepreneurial orientation has become a very attractive research topic. In this research, the literature related to the nexus between the fields of entrepreneurship and the environment with a Meta synthesis approach has been studied. Accordingly, in the present article, after a thematic and content review of 141 sources, 25 factors were identified in the form of eight concepts and two categories, the weights were determined by the modified Shannon entropy method. In this regard, the most important factors affecting the entrepreneurial orientation of green businesses are: "Type of industry", "Financial support, rewards and incentives for green entrepreneurial actions", "Social networks", "Green entrepreneurship for economic benefits", "Social norms about the environment" and "Commitment, attention and knowledge of managers or owners to the environment.
