“…Recent study, concluded that for logistics index performance is to be measured by CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions and fuel consumption from the transport used using range adjusted measure (RAM) from the data envelopment analysis (DEA). This area alone are contributing to 42% of transport related CO2 emissions in the world in 2018 [14].The result of the study showed that the country with high income is better in preserving the environment compared to the country with lower income. The result also favor the wealth continent especially in Western Europe.…”

This paper is discussing on the emergence of awareness in Malaysia’s supply chain in green practices and implementation towards sustainability. All elements in good supply chain management are being tabled from the various authors & publications within the latest three years period. All business entity inclusive of industries, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation covering the land, sea and air. World population is nearing 7.5 billion directly triggered a massive food production, electrical & electronics appliances, furnitures, housing estates, textiles industries, transportations for movement, upgrading of roads, seaports, bigger airports causing huge consumptions of fossil fuel. Consequently causing damage to the environment. World leaders are united in decision of tacking the global warming at United Nation assembly but the action on the ground is very minimal resulting in the iceberg melting continuously, flooding in low land area in coastal city such as Jakarta, Shanghai and Lagos. Endless effort are being taken to reduce the dependency on fossil fuel by the world leading economy nations such as China in developing electric car engines, Germany in longer lifespan battery operated vehicles as well as solar energy and water based engine (Hybrid). In the market with the pressure from the society and environmentalist manufacturing are aggressively implementing reverse logistics on their products, transportations companies are maximizing their truckloads, factories are reducing the electricity and create awareness and ownership which is resulting the low carbon footprint.

“…Focusing on the industrial environment, Le et al [9] argues that sustainability has become an important factor in competitive advantage for companies. Increasingly, society requires industries to develop sustainable practices throughout their manufacturing, supply and distribution operations [10,11]. Bask et al, Björklund and Forslund [12,13] corroborate this point of view which reinforces the need to better understand the role of sustainability in the development of logistics activities.…”

The main purpose of this article is to present an overview of the applications of sustainable practices in logistic operations performed by Brazilian companies. To reach this objective, the following steps were carried out: (1) a review of the literature on logistics systems and sustainability in logistics activities; (2) the collection of sustainability reports published by companies that perform logistics operations, which are recognized in Brazil; (3) a content analysis of the reports collected and (4) a discussion of the results, cross-checked with the literature and the extrapolation of conclusions. It was possible to identify 22 sustainable practices, and these practices were grouped into five macro areas. The authors of this paper believe that the findings presented here can be useful for professionals and researchers in the implementation of sustainability practices in logistics systems.

“…Herold and Lee [64] investigated the carbon reports disclosed by some giant international logistics enterprises, e.g., UPS, FedX and DHL, and compared their sustainability-related strategies, namely legitimacy-seeking arguments versus energy and emission reduction. In addition, a variety of qualitative analysis measures, such as fuzzy multi-criteria evaluation modeling [65], data envelopment analysis [66], and analytic hierarchy processes [67] were also widely applied to illuminate the logic between SEE performance and G&SL.…”

Ever-growing globalization and industrialization put forward impending requirements for green and sustainable logistics (G&SL). Over the past decades, G&SL initiatives triggered worldwide deliberations, aiming at easing negative transport externalities and improving supply chain performance. This review-based paper attempts to offer a joint quantitative and qualitative understanding for the overall evolutionary trend, knowledge structure, and literature gaps of the G&SL research field. Employing the science mapping approach, a total of 306 major paper published from 1999 to 2019 were retrieved, elaborated on, and synthesized. Visualized statistics regarding publication years, journal allocation/co-citation, inter-country/institution collaboration, influential articles, co-occurred keywords, and time view clusters of research themes were analyzed bibliographically. On this basis, a total of 50 sub-branches of G&SL knowledge were classified and thematically discussed based on five alignments, namely (i) social-environmental-economic research, (ii) planning, policy and management, (iii) application and practice, (iv) technology, and (v) operations research. Finally, the current knowledge obstacles and the future research opportunities were suggested. The findings contribute to portray a systematic intellectual prospect for the state quo, hotspots, and academic frontiers of G&SL research. Moreover, it provides researchers and practitioners with heuristic thoughts to govern transportation ecology and logistics service quality.
