This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) of scholarly work at the intersection of digital transformation and sustainability, focusing on peer-reviewed publications indexed in Scopus between 2020 and 2025. The review is motivated by a surge in digital adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated organisational shifts toward remote work, e-commerce, and digital operations that has reshaped sustainability across sectors. Using PRISMA guidelines, a total of 625 articles were analysed, revealing six thematic clusters. Findings demonstrate that digital transformation is not only a technological upgrade but a strategic enabler for sustainable performance. Key competencies, such as digital literacy, organisational agility, and sustainability-oriented leadership, emerge as critical factors for successful implementation. Furthermore, the review highlights how environmental uncertainties such as pandemics, climate change, and regulatory pressures act as catalysts for digital transformation in supply chains. This study contributes to the literature by mapping key trends, gaps, and future research directions. In particular, it offers actionable insights for entrepreneurs.
