Abstract: Digitalization and sustainability is widely investigated; however, only few studies have analyzed the role of sustainable decision-making processes in the business strategy field for achieving sustainable development goals: The study proposes a structured literature review (SLR), analyzing 318 documents published in the period 2019–2023. The results of the SLR bring to light that the publications on the topic mainly regard seven research areas. Green supply chains, logistics and digital management is the principal one, followed by sustainable goals, green indicators, and digital advancement. Furthermore, the analysis marks future research lines: although this document offers an overview of the main studies in literature, the major limitation is the use of only one database and a time span of 5 years. This study could contribute to generate further research on sustainable decision-making processes, promoting a different organizational approach to value creation and sustainable performance.
