Absztrakt (kivonat)

The book Industry 4.0 Technologies for Environmental Sustainability by Adele Parmentola and Ilaria Tutore (Springer, 2023) analyses the ambiva-lent effects of digital technologies of the fourth industrial revolution on environmental sustainability. Based on a systematic literature review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis, the authors show that Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies such as IoT, big data, blockchain and additive manufacturing can contribute significantly to increased efficiency, resource conservation and transparency. At the same time, potential negative effects, such as high energy consumption or unintended environmental impacts, are addressed. The results are structured along macro, meso, supply chain and micro le-vels. A key contribution is the case study analysis on the role of blockchain in the context of environmental Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). The work provides a differentiated, practical contribution to the scientific debate, highlights gaps in research and offers companies impetus for the sustainable use of digital technologies.JEL-codes: O32, Q01, Q55, M11, L86, Q56
