Abstract

“Digital sustainability,” or organizational activities that promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through digital means, has emerged as a vital area in management research. This study highlights how global firms and institutions can leverage digital technologies and digital intelligence to boost environmental sustainability on a worldwide scale, which I refer to as “global digital sustainability.” I emphasize the importance of transforming digital technologies into digital intelligence as a form of knowledge for organizations that nourishes sustainability and regeneration through three mechanisms: namely, (1) improving eco-efficiency, (2) promoting green consumption, and (3) guiding system orchestration. By adopting a cross-disciplinary approach, this essay conceptualizes the scalable aspects of digital sustainability, incorporating insights from knowledge management, environmental science, international business, and institutional perspectives. I suggest several approaches for policymakers and business executives in a broader organizational and institutional context to achieve digital sustainability and advance this important line of inquiry within the global sustainability transition.
