Leveraging Digital Transformation for Sustainable Development. Strategies and Impacts examines the relationship between digital transformation and sustainable development within contemporary organizations, economies, and societies. The book argues that digital technologies — including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and digital platforms — are not intrinsically sustainable. Instead, their contribution to sustainability is contingent upon deliberate design, governance, and assessment aligned with environmental, social, and ethical standards. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, the volume explores both the opportunities and risks associated with digitalization, including energy-intensive infrastructures, e-waste, algorithmic accountability, digital inclusion, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable innovation. Utilizing theoretical frameworks, ESG-focused metrics, comparative case studies, and future-oriented reflections, the book provides conceptual and practical tools for aligning digital transformation with ecological boundaries, social justice, and responsible governance.

Abstract
Leveraging Digital Transformation for Sustainable Development. Strategies and Impacts examines the relationship between digital transformation and sustainable development within contemporary organizations, economies, and societies. The book argues that digital technologies — including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and digital platforms — are not intrinsically sustainable. Instead, their contribution to sustainability is contingent upon deliberate design, governance, and assessment aligned with environmental, social, and ethical standards. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, the volume explores both the opportunities and risks associated with digitalization, including energy-intensive infrastructures, e-waste, algorithmic accountability, digital inclusion, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable innovation. Utilizing theoretical frameworks, ESG-focused metrics, comparative case studies, and future-oriented reflections, the book provides conceptual and practical tools for aligning digital transformation with ecological boundaries, social justice, and responsible governance.
