Abstract
Global supply chains are vital for sustainable development, yet firms often struggle to translate digital transformation into substantial environmental and social outcomes aligned with the SDGs. This study explores how digital technologies facilitate sustainable development through dynamic capabilities and green supply chain integration (GSCI). Using Dynamic Capabilities Theory, we propose and test a serial mediation framework with a two-wave, multi-country survey of senior supply chain and sustainability managers (n = 300), supplemented by archival ESG data from Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and CSMAR (2019–2023). Structural equation modeling shows that digital technologies contribute to sustainability outcomes only indirectly, by strengthening firms’ sensing, seizing, and transforming capabilities that drive internal and external green integration. Results suggest that policymakers should shift from hardware subsidies to ‘capability-oriented’ frameworks, incentivizing digital–green innovation hubs to help firms translate data into systemic sustainability integration.
Amid growing environmental pressures and sustainability challenges, understanding how institutional reforms enhance firms' ability to cope with green‐related disruptions is of substantial importance. Exploiting China's Supply Chain Innovation and Application Pilot Cities as a quasi‐natural experiment, this study inve...

Enhancing corporate ESG performance through digital technologies has become a central issue as digital transformation and green development advance in tandem. Using data on Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2024, a total of 13,917 observations, this study develops a dual-path framework of structural and res...
Digital technologies are widely expected to reshape supply chains, yet the conditions under which they deliver operational and sustainability-related value in practice remain insufficiently understood. This study examines how digital technologies influence supply chain operations and performance, where performance is o...
