This study examines the interplay between smart technologies, business sustainability, and environmental sustainability within the context of small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). By employing structural equation modeling (SEM), the study evaluates the direct and indirect effects of smart technology integration on business and environmental sustainability outcomes. The results indicate that while smart technologies do not directly influence environmental sustainability, they significantly enhance business sustainability, which in turn positively affects environmental sustainability. This implies a mediated relationship, in which the strategic implementation of smart technologies is crucial for achieving environmental goals. The implications extend to the necessity of a strategic, holistic approach to sustainability in SMEs, emphasizing the intricate roles played by smart technologies in this sector.
