“…Regarding metrics for measuring 3PLs' environmental performance, few papers have been published in this area. The study of Kim and Han (2011) [74] was aimed at developing a scale for measuring Environmental Logistics Practices (ELPs) in South Korea. The authors divided ELPs into three different components such as Internal Environmental Management (IEM), Environmental Sourcing and Packaging (ESP) and Environmental Process Design (EPD).…”

Environmental Sustainability in Third-Party Logistics Service Providers: A Systematic Literature Review from 2000–2016

Despite the increasing interest toward environmental issues in the freight transport and logistics service sector, a comprehensive and updated assessment of the existing literature is still missing. This paper aims to fill this gap by presenting the results of a systematic literature review of publications in the area of environmental sustainability in third-party logistics service providers (3PLs) between the years 2000 and 2016. The review offers insight into the critical dimensions of green matters in transport and logistics service companies using an analytical framework based on the following five topic areas: influencing factors, green actions and the impact on performance, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools supporting the green actions, energy efficiency in road freight transport and shipper's perspective and collaboration. The results indicate that, despite the number of published papers having grown significantly from 2008 onward, some areas remain highly under-researched such as ICT and performance measurement. Several research gaps have been identified in each topic area, and a set of propositions forming an agenda for future research directions has been suggested.

“…Every industry in Australia depends on logistics and transport (Australian Logistics Council, 2014). Moreover, the logistics industry can play a vital role in decreasing carbon footprint and emissions by environmental activity implementation (Kim and Han, 2011). Identifying the factors encouraging Australian logistics companies for environmental adoption may facilitate and improve the level of environmental adoption.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine 12 factors influencing environmental activity adoption by Australian logistics companies. Design/methodology/approach After a literature review and collect the major factors influencing environmental activity adoption, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Friedman test are used to cluster and prioritize these factors through a Web survey. Findings The results of EFA show that these factors belong to three main groups including social and economic, pressure and governmental factors. The results of a Friedman test prioritizes 12 factors to find which factors have the greatest importance toward the adoption of environmental activity by managers of Australian logistics companies and reveals that governmental regulation, fuel and energy prices and the potential for achieving a competitive advantage, had the first to third ranking, respectively. Some new influencing factors in implementing environmental activities are found such as the willingness to be the market leader, responsibility and risk mitigation. Research limitations/implications This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the new factors influencing environmental adoption. Practical implications Australian logistics managers can use the results of this paper in developing their strategies and public policymakers can also use these results to improve sustainable development. Originality/value This is the first paper that clusters and prioritizes factors influencing environmental adoption in the Australian logistics industry.

“…Although the logistics industry in China is developing well, however, there are still some problems in the process of its development, mainly reflected in the pollution of ecological environment [2][3][4][5]. Kim and Han [6] and Murphy and Poist [7] argued that greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and energy consumption such as fossils in the world are largely caused by the development of logistics system. According to a study of the World Health Organization and the International Energy Agency, Khan, Sharif, Golpîra et al [8] pointed out that the development of the global logistics industry is heavily dependent on energy, especially fossil fuels, thus causing serious ecological problems.…”

With the rapid development of economy, the scale of the logistics industry is also expanding rapidly, which brings great convenience to economy and trade, and becomes one of the pillar industries of national economy. However, with the development of economy and logistics, the problem of ecological environment is becoming more and more prominent. Through the design of economic development, logistics development, and the ecological environment index system, the economic development, logistics development and eco-environment development level of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2008 to 2017 are analyzed by using the entropy method and coupling coordination degree model, and the spatial characteristics of regional economic development, logistics development, and ecological environment are analyzed by using ArcGIS software. The results show that the coupling coordination of economic development, logistics development and ecological environment in most provinces and cities in China is at the mediate coupling level, and only Shanghai, Anhui, and Fujian in the Eastern region have reached the high-quality coupling level; there are significant temporal and spatial differences in the coupling and coordinated development between economic development, logistics development and ecological environment. The level of coupling coordination in the western region has always been at a low level, while the level of coupling coordination in most of the central and eastern regions is relatively high. There are situations where the level of coupling coordination is not high; the coordinated growth of economic development, logistics development, and ecological environment is mainly driven by economic development and logistics development. However, the level of ecological environment has been lagging behind the level of economic and logistics development. In the future development, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the logistics industry in economic development, weigh the relationship between the development of the logistics industry and ecological environmental protection, actively develop green logistics, and the level of coordinated development among economic development, logistics development and ecological environment.
