Abstract This chapter delves into the pervasive integration of digital systems into daily life and their repercussions. It underscores the critical role of sustainable development across economic, societal, and environmental domains, endorsed by the UN’s ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. This exploration emphasizes the strategic potential within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the corporate sector. Additionally, it delves into the interconnectedness of digital systems with the environment, addressing their ecological footprint and advocating for sustainable remedies, considering both their positive contributions and negative impacts. This comprehensive review encompasses the evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions and the management of electronic waste, alongside creating eco-conscious digital systems using renewable materials and energies. The discourse extends to the efficacy of data management and cloud services, stressing the imperative shift towards eco-friendly practices, notably within energy-efficient data centers. Moreover, it scrutinizes how digital systems are leveraged to advance sustainability in society, notably in domains like intelligent transportation and the evolution of smart cities. Finally, it touches upon global initiatives such as the Paris Agreement and the Digital Green Deal, aimed at propelling the adoption of sustainable digital systems, encompassing both their beneficial aspects and adverse effects. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
