Abstract

This study aims to investigate the mediating role of supply chain resilience and robustness on the relationship between the use of digital technologies and sustainable environmental performance. Additionally, it investigates the moderating role of supply chain complexity on the impact of digital technologies on supply chain resilience and robustness. Data were gathered from 292 supply chain managers at registered manufacturing companies in Egypt and analyzed using Smart-PLS 4 software. The findings reveal that supply chain resilience and robustness partially mediate the link between digital technologies and sustainable environmental performance. Moreover, supply chain complexity was found to positively moderate the effect of digital technologies on both resilience and robustness. The model explained 53.2% of the variance in supply chain robustness, 56.6% in supply chain resilience, and 72.3% in sustainable environmental performance. These results provide critical insights for corporate policymaking, helping to drive continuous improvements in supply chain management, environmental performance, and sustainable development.
