Abstract Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have consistently contributed significantly to the economy's gross domestic product (GDP). Organizations are motivated to achieve sustainable performance by mitigating the adverse impacts of company operations by improving productivity and optimizing resource utilization. In order to achieve this objective, the businesses are making all their efforts and developing the systems to ensure sustainable performance. Based on the prevailing research gaps, the current study examines the role of a portfolio of responsible digital technologies (DT), which provides a competitive advantage and helps achieve sustainable firm performance (SFP). Using a simple random sampling technique, data from 294 textile manufacturing SMEs is collected and analyzed using the structural equation model (SEM) in AMOS v.24. The results indicated that digital technologies, tax avoidance, green employee behavior, and corporate social responsibility facilitated improving the SFP of SMEs. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the link connecting TA and SFP is unaffected by CSR activities aimed at the environment. This finding, however, should not lessen the importance of TA, which deserves significant attention and thought from management.
