Abstract

All over the world, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and Sustainable Development (SD) have progressively gained the interest of scholars, politicians, and other parts of society. Besides beings two of the most debated topics of the last decades; they also have overlaps between their independent research fields. Some examples are reductions of environmental impacts and improvements in production technologies. This integration of technologies and sustainable advances within an industrial context can enable a set of important competitiveness forces, which results can reflect in business improvement . However, the link between I4.0, SD, and business still needs a broader understanding. Basing on this perspective, this paper proposes a systematic literature review (2015–2020) to identify the current state of research on the subject by mapping and summarising existing research efforts, as well as identifying research agendas, gaps, and opportunities for more development. Results point to that there are fourteen research opportunities, showing the potential of Industry 4.0 as an enabler of sustainable business models that changes the responsibilities of companies.
