Matija Kovačić

Abstract: This article is based on a systematic research of the literature related to influence of Industry 4.0 and its technologies on achieving sustainability in supply chain, which is becoming increasingly significant topic as demand for supply chain sustainability increases.Based on the research findings, this article highlights scholars that mainly discuss the influence of Industry 4.0 on supply chain sustainability, as well as the most relevant articles that might form a basis for other scholars when conducting research. The findings reveal a trend toward studying the supply chain from the perspective of the circular economy, i.e. the importance of building the supply chain using circular economy concepts. The study has limitations due to the analysis of only Englishlanguage articles without including books, as well as a concentration on the Scopus database only.
