The improvement of information technology infrastructure, and the improvement of the ability to analyze environmental **data** lead an organization or a business to achieve a competitive advantage (Grover & Kohli, 2013). Although the dimensions of digital transformation are numerous, those components that have impact on businesses and different industries, and have been considered by researchers and managers of organizations, are recognized as industry 4.0, presented in 2011 (Hofmann & Rüsch, 2017). Ronaghi and Forouharfar (2020) believe "The concept of 'Industry 4.0' is directly related to the installation of smart equipment and instruments for optimal controlling of resources, as well as increasing efficiency besides improving flexibility" (Ronaghi & Forouharfar, 2020, p.2). The presence of time stamps in the blockchain structure prevents any distortion and falsification of information without the knowledge of stakeholders. Therefore, this collective responsibility increases the security and reliability of **data** (Raval, 2016). Using distributed, open-source, peer-to-peer systems, blockchain has the potential to create cleaner economic processes and harmony and balance between the economy, society and the environment . On the other hand, due to the distribution of information in the blockchain network, the method of interaction between users, energy consumption and waste of resources are among the challenges of using this technology . Given the features and challenges, this technology can affect sustainable development (Schulz et al., 2020).
