Abstract
Amid the challenges of global climate change and resource scarcity, the Chinese government continues to promote green development in pursuit of carbon neutrality. Enterprises are under increasing pressure to undertake green transformation, with digital transformation emerging as a key enabler of this process. This paper examines the connotations, development stages, measurement methods, theoretical foundations, and manifestations of digital transformation systematically. It also explores the mechanisms by which it influences green supply chains. By analyzing the literature on digital transformation and green supply chains from 2010 to 2025 and integrating resource-based theory with dynamic capabilities theory, this paper constructs an integrated framework for how digital transformation impacts green supply chains. The paper finds that digital transformation can effectively improve the efficiency, operational transparency, and innovation capabilities of green supply chains by optimizing resource allocation, alleviating financing constraints, and enhancing operational transparency and innovation. While measurement methods for digital transformation provide important tools for assessing its maturity, existing research remains limited in terms of indicator system construction and cross-context applicability. This paper provides room for further research.
