Abstract
The increasing pressure for sustainable business practices, combined with rapid digitalisation, is reshaping organisational strategies worldwide. This study investigates the impact of digital transformation on sustainable business practices, environmental sustainability, and business performance in the Albanian retail sector. A quantitative research approach was employed, using survey data collected from retail firms and analysed through reliability, correlation, regression, and moderation analyses. The findings indicate that digital transformation has a positive and statistically significant effect on sustainable business practices and environmental sustainability, while exerting its strongest influence on business performance. The results further reveal that support mechanisms, including training, financial assistance, and institutional support, significantly enhance the effectiveness of sustainable digital transformation. In contrast, organisational barriers, such as limited infrastructure and low levels of digital literacy, do not have a direct significant effect; however, their negative impact is mitigated by the presence of support mechanisms, confirming a moderating effect. These findings highlight the critical role of digital transformation as a driver of both sustainability and organisational performance. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from the context of an emerging economy and offers practical implications for managers and policymakers seeking to promote sustainable digital development.
The results show that Digital Intensity significantly and positively influences financial, environmental, and social performance (SP), highlighting its role as a primary driver of SME sustainability, and underline the need for prioritising investment in digital tools and skills.

In the contemporary business landscape, numerous enterprises confront the critical challenge of aligning corporate sustainability imperatives with operational demands and rapid technological advancements. Grounded in the TOE framework, this study investigates the mechanism through which information and communication technology adoption drives corporate sustainable development, while examining the mediating role of digital transformation and the moderating role of Information Technology Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance. Empirical data garnered from a questionnaire survey representing 418 distinct corporate entities were analyzed using SmartPLS software version 3.0. The empirical findings reveal that information and communication technology adoption exerts a significant positive effect on both digital transformation and corporate sustainable development, with digital transformation functioning as a vital mediating conduit. Additionally, Information Technology Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance acts as a positive moderator that amplifies the favorable impacts of both technology adoption and digital transformation on sustainable development outcomes. Theoretically, this study advances the literature by integrating the TOE framework, digital transformation, and corporate sustainability paradigms. Practically, it offers strategic insights for corporate decision-makers integrating digital transformation into organizational architectures. Ultimately, this research underscores Information Technology Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance as an indispensable governance dimension for deploying modern information systems to achieve sustainable development goals.

Digital investment does not automatically generate sustainable outcomes; firms require organizational capabilities, analytical decision routines, and supportive leadership conditions to translate technology into economic, environmental, and social value. Drawing on the dynamic capabilities view and contingency theory, this study examines how digital transformation capability, innovation capability, and data-driven decision making are associated with sustainable business performance and whether top management support moderates the relationship between digital transformation capability and sustainable business performance. Survey data obtained from managerial informants representing distinct large Slovenian companies were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that digital transformation capability, innovation capability, and data-driven decision making each showed a positive and statistically significant association with sustainable business performance. The interaction between digital transformation capability and top management support was also positive and statistically significant, indicating that the relationship becomes stronger as management support increases, although the magnitude of this amplification was modest. The study advances a differentiated capability-deployment perspective by distinguishing digitally enabled reconfiguration, innovation execution, and analytical decision routines and by identifying top management support as an amplifying condition.
