Abstract

Recently, logistics and supply chain management have adopted environmental sustainability. Logistics, which encompasses transportation, warehousing, and distribution, affects global supply chains and the environment. This empirical review investigates logistics' environmental and supply chain sustainability. Literature and empirical studies are examined to determine how logistics sector environmental sustainability methods affect supply chain sustainability goals. This research examines important literature themes, trends, and findings to better comprehend logistics operations' environmental sustainability concerns and prospects. This review of logistics operations and supply chain sustainability informs future research and logistics environmental performance efforts. Logistics operations must cut carbon emissions, minimalize environmental impact, and strengthen supply chain resilience and competitiveness. Logistics operations' environmental sustainability and supply chain sustainability were examined in the empirical review. Summary of relevant literature, identification of research gaps, evaluation of past study methods, and analysis of supply chain resilience and competitiveness were the main goals. The technique included choosing relevant research and data sources, gathering and analyzing data, and summarizing significant conclusions. The results showed that green transportation, route optimization, and energy-efficient warehouse operations may boost logistics sustainability. These sustainability approaches boost supply chain sustainability by improving cost-effectiveness and competitiveness. Supply chain partners must collaborate to improve environmental sustainability, according to the assessment. The research stressed the significance of incorporating environmental sustainability into logistics operations to meet long-term supply chain sustainability goals.
