“…Holistic sustainability as result of the utilization of sustainability knowledge is able to create the conditions for the development of sustainable innovation [87]. To analyze sustainable development goals, some studies examine the relationship between blockchain technologies and environmental sustainability [88][89][90][91], investigating the role of blockchain, which requires in-depth analysis of potential positive and negative effects on the environment. If the negative effects are explored in a few studies [2], just as key components that foster the transition from traditional systems to new sustainable systems, "blockchain for good" [92,93] is a responsible event influencing the way to operate some firms.…”

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.

“…Several reviews, for example, [2], [9]- [14], [16]- [18], cover this topic from different angles. Therefore, we decided to perform a tertiary review to answer our research questions [20]. A tertiary review, or a tertiary study, is "a review of secondary studies related to the same research questions" [21, p. vii], i.e., a review of systematic literature reviews.…”

Sustainable development is crucial to securing the future of humanity. Blockchain as a disruptive technology and a driver for social change has exhibited great potential to promote sustainable practices and help organizations and governments achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Existing literature reviews on blockchain and sustainability often focus only on topics related to a few SDGs. There is a need to consolidate existing results in terms of SDGs and provide a comprehensive overview of the impacts that blockchain technology may have on each SDG. This paper intends to bridge this gap, presenting a tertiary review based on 42 literature reviews, to investigate the relationship between blockchain and sustainability in light of SDGs. The method used is a consensus-based expert elicitation with thematic analysis. The findings include a novel and comprehensive mapping of impact-based interlinkage of blockchain and SDGs and a systematic overview of drivers and barriers to adopting blockchain for sustainability. The findings reveal that blockchain can have a positive impact on all 17 SDGs though some negative effects can occur and impede the achievement of certain objectives. 76 positive and 10 negative linkages between blockchain adoption and the 17 SDGs as well as 45 factors that drive or hinder blockchain adoption for the achievement of SDGs have been identified. Research gaps to overcome the barriers and enhance blockchain's positive impacts have also been identified. The findings may help managers in evaluating the applicability and tradeoffs, and policymakers in making supportive measures to facilitate sustainability using blockchain.

“…Based on the current state of practices and expectations from the stakeholders gathered from the above workshop, interviews and conversations, we extracted their concerns and goals using ArchiMate motivation models. The authors had performed a systematic literature review in parallel [10] [11] and gained familiarity with the literature about the blockchain use cases and applications, benefits and impacts that blockchain can contribute to supply chains, as well as the drivers and barriers to blockchain adoption. A short summary from the literature review is provided in Section 2.2.…”

Blockchain is an emerging disruptive technology with a great potential to impact business value creation. Yet it is challenging to understand how blockchain can be utilised to improve enterprises' performance and value creation. A formalised conceptual and enterprise modelling may help bridge the communication gap between domain experts and blockchain system designers. The goal of this study is to explore how can modelling facilitate blockchain-enhanced value chain design from a motivation viewpoint. We report our experience from modelling a blockchain-enhanced seafood supply chain using ArchiMate motivation and strategy models, where stakeholders have diverse concerns and goals. Preliminary results have indicated that such a modelling approach facilitates the common understanding, and the decision and prioritisation of the business strategies, as well as the identification of the blockchain benefits for the enterprises. It may help stakeholders along the value chain to align their business strategies and priorities, and can be an effective tool for value co-creation and enhancing the collaboration and communication among stakeholders and with blockchain application developers.
