A Conceptual Model on Green Logistics Performance and Sustainable Development: A Methodical Review

Abstract

This research aims to present a conceptual model that examines the relationship between green logistics performance and sustainable development in the context of economic growth, international trade, and environmental quality. It focuses on how green logistics can support countries in achieving sustainability, particularly regarding trade, economic growth, and environmental quality. The conceptual model is developed based on a review of previous research in sustainable development, green logistics, trade, supply chain management, and related fields. To make logistics management more environmentally sustainable, the paper emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable logistics practices in business operations and policy. With the increasing importance of environmental responsibility and sustainability, companies worldwide are turning to green logistics initiatives. These practices help preserve the environment, reduce retailers' carbon footprints, and attract environmentally conscious consumers and trading partners. As environmental awareness grows in the global marketplace, sustainable logistics offers a competitive advantage for companies seeking to meet ethical and environmental standards. By balancing economic growth and environmental protection, sustainable logistics plays a crucial role in shaping the future of international trade and promoting a more sustainable global economy. The current research gap lies in the lack of studies that integrate both logistics and green dimensions to comprehensively analyze the effect of green logistics performance on economic growth, international trade, and environmental quality. By combining these two dimensions, this research aims to fill this gap and provide a holistic understanding of the relationship between green logistics performance and sustainability outcomes.
