abstract = {Humanity is running out of time to curb climate change, and its effects are becoming ever more intense and
harmful to humankind. A change in habits and production methods is required in order to slow the advance of
this scourge. This research seeks to provide quantitative information on the nexus between digitalization and
sustainable production (SP). The analysis focuses exclusively on the 27 EU member states (2015–2019), all of
which are characterized by a proactive stance towards environmental degradation. First, a synthetic index is constructed
using cross-efficiency, in order to assess Europe's position in terms of SP. This index is then taken as the
dependent variable in an estimation of the effects of the different aspects of digitalization measured in the Digital
Economy and Society Index, as well as the environmental and innovation policies adopted in the EU. The generalized
method of moments is used to examine the effect of the trend in SP. Results reveal that the level of income
per capita does not determine SP and that it is more amatter of society's commitment to implementing practices
that foster SP. Furthermore, the evidence found indicates that Europe has not yet been able to break the negative
link between GDP and sustainability, despite the positive impact of all facets of digitalization, innovation and environmental
policies.},
