Digital technologies play an expanding role in how businesses approach sustainability. A bibliometric review examined 1251 academic articles published between 1995 and 2024 from the Scopus database, analysing research trends, pioneers, emerging themes, and future opportunities. The analysis covered key digital innovations, including blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, financial technology, and broader digital transformation. The findings reveal that recent scholarly investigation concentrates heavily on several distinct intersections: digitalisation and sustainability, artificial intelligence and sustainable development, blockchain combined with environmental technology, financial technology supporting green innovation, and the connections between energy policy and carbon emissions. By identifying existing gaps in the literature, this work serves as a guide for emerging researchers seeking to understand and explore the evolving landscape where corporate sustainability and digital systems meet.
Understanding how emerging digital tools intersect with corporate environmental and social goals is vital for tracking global progress. By mapping three decades of research across areas such as green fintech, artificial intelligence, and carbon emissions, this work highlights prevailing priorities and unaddressed questions, giving observers a clearer picture of where technology-driven sustainability research is heading.
