This book critically examines the role of digital enterprises’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) frameworks and sustainability investments as vehicles for societal impact and sustainable competitiveness. Given the rapid evolution of digital capabilities and data-driven decision-making, the chapters explore how digital enterprises can leverage their unique resources to foster sustainable development.

The work investigates how CSR and sustainability investments intersect with environmental governance, green innovation, and responsible consumption within the digital economy. Furthermore, it explores the integration of sustainable practices through the use of artificial intelligence, big data, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, documenting state-of-the-art CSR and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) implementations, thus enriching the understanding of digital enterprises and e-commerce.

With contributions from diverse disciplinary perspectives, this volume offers a critical evaluation of the strategic, operational, and technological factors shaping CSR and sustainability in digital enterprises. It will contribute to the development of frameworks for analyzing the impact of these investments on sustainable development and firm performance.
