Abstract (English): Purpose: Digital Transformation (DT) and sustainability have attracted significant interest from researchers and professionals, sparking debates about their interaction. However, the literature still lacks a comprehensive analysis of this connection. This study examines the relationship between DT and sustainability, aiming to fill this gap and provide a holistic view of these interactions. Design/methodology/approach: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted based on the protocol of Tranfield, Denyer, and Smart (2003), analyzing academic studies that discuss the interaction between DT and sustainability. Findings: The results highlight that DT is crucial in advancing corporate sustainability goals by streamlining administrative processes, enhancing efficiency, boosting competitiveness, and driving innovation. Originality/value: This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between DT and sustainability, proposes a future research agenda, and provides valuable insights for companies and researchers interested in exploring these synergies.
