What the paper says

This systematic literature review explores how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) leverage technology to integrate sustainability into their operations, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a comprehensive analysis of 208 articles from 147 journals, we identify eight key themes: external environment, organisational context, sustainability orientation, technology opportunities, innovation focus, knowledge management, assessment frameworks, and sustainability practices and outcomes. The study findings enable us to synthesise an integrated framework that illuminates the intersection of technology use and sustainability incorporation in SMEs. This review addresses critical literature gaps and provides a foundation for future research and practical applications in SME sustainability.
