| Summary: | Grasping the complex interplay between digital innovation and Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) practices is vital for policymakers and businesses seeking to promote
sustainable economic growth while complying with global sustainability standards. In this
context, our paper analysed the impact of integrating digital technologies – quantified
through a component of the Digital Economy and Society Index – on the ESG performance
of Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries over the last 11 years. The aim of the
research was to emphasise how the demands for sustainability reporting have influenced nonfinancial performance, generating national and organisational changes in CEE countries.
Drawing on empirical studies and using panel data modelling techniques, we demonstrated
that technological advancements foster operational efficiencies, green innovation, ultimately
contributing to enhanced carbon emission efficiency and energy performance. In light of
ongoing challenges related to varying regulatory frameworks and capacities, our findings
underscored the imperative for cohesive strategies that leverage digital tools to meet
sustainability goals. This research enriched the theoretical comprehension of the link between
digitalisation and ESG performance while offering practical insights to strengthen the
sustainability of CEE countries |
