Economic, political, and societal pressure forces companies to act more sustainably. New legislation and regulation such as the Supply Chain Act, mandates companies to take responsibility for their actions as well as those of their supply chain collaborators. Meeting these requirements demands transparency. Digital technologies along the supply chain have the potential to collect diverse types of data and raise awareness for sustainability purposes. For example, data obtained from multiple supply chain participants can be used to estimate CO₂ emissions or optimize resource utilization. Following guidelines for systematically reviewing a body of literature, this paper therefore investigates the distribution of digital technologies in supply chains for sustainability. Based on a collected corpus of 70 articles, we identify seven key digital technologies and indicate how they can be employed to contribute to economic, environmental, and social sustainability. The results show that (1) blockchain is the most used technology for sustainability within the supply chain and (2) the majority of articles on digital technologies in our corpus address the social dimension of sustainability. Our findings advance the understanding of how digitalization can transform supply chains into more sustainable entities and help practitioners decide which technology fits a certain sustainability dimension.

经济、政治和社会压力迫使公司采取更加可持续的行动。 《供应链法》等新立法和法规要求公司对其自身及其供应链合作者的行为负责。满足这些要求需要透明度。供应链上的数字技术有潜力收集不同类型的数据并提高可持续发展意识。例如，从多个供应链参与者获得的数据可用于估计CO ₂排放或优化资源利用。因此，本文遵循系统回顾大量文献的指导方针，研究了数字技术在供应链中的分布以实现可持续发展。根据收集的 70 篇文章的语料库，我们确定了七种关键数字技术，并指出如何利用它们为经济、环境和社会可持续发展做出贡献。结果表明，(1) 区块链是供应链中最常用的可持续发展技术，(2) 我们的语料库中大多数有关数字技术的文章都涉及可持续发展的社会层面。我们的研究结果加深了对数字化如何将供应链转变为更可持续实体的理解，并帮助从业者决定哪种技术适合特定的可持续发展维度。
