This article focuses on the role of logistic companies in economic growth and how eco-friendly are implementing eco-friendly technology, green logistics, and considering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This research aims to study the logistic sector in Oman and how its practices could be changed into eco-friendly processes to conserve the environment. The study highlights consumption, which encourages the adoption of green practices. Moreover, the research pays attention to the drivers and barriers to green adoption initiatives. The research used quantitative methods in the form of surveys with the help of qualitative evidence from the literature to reach outcomes. The findings vindicate that Oman places great emphasis on the development of logistics services to achieve economic growth. The implementation of green technology allows companies to help the environment and cost savings. Studies are helpful if managers in the business are willing to bring such practices into their business. There is a need to align sustainable development and logistics operations to support the SDGs in their CSR initiative. The shift usually takes a long time, but the initiative must be taken, and governmental bodies must support the greening of the logistic industry. Research findings reasonably advocate the share of the logistic industry in economic growth, so investments in this sector would only lead to better trade and more earnings whilst conforming to the customers' demands. The study faces some limitations, including a limitation and superficiality in the information presented in the green logistics aspect, the COVID-19 outbreak made it challenging to reach the target people of the survey.
